Hi All,

Have to agree with Liz, my favorite Carbon Star is also EsB 365, however another stunning example is Hind's Crimson Star R Leporis.
This is a Mira Variable with a period of 432 days. I have read a few observing reports that don't rate Hind's Crimson Star, but it is a variable and if you catch it near max brightness it is magnificent.

Regards
Trevor
