That was a really top read Rob! I'm going to print it out and file it with my other Eta Carina stuff.

That certainly was a great read.

Suzy I found this timeline that may be useful to include with your Eta Carina stuff. I wonder, if you are going to Astrofest perhaps you might consider a short presentation on your continuing passion for this, just a thought.

Most interesting.
I have to admit the sceptical scientist in me didn't think it likely the variations would be perceptible to the human eye, but it would seem those changes over the last 2 years definitely would be.

Hats off to those that noticed!

At the other side of the world, that is Argentina one of our observatories has been tracking Eta Carina for a while

Info and graphs here:
http://etacar.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar/

http://etacar.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar/plots/difaperV.png
V-relative brigthness increasing of the central region, relative to the complete Homunculus just after event

Hope this info helps!

I'm not an expert but I think it is brightening but within expected rate for peaks and lows as seen in the last years. Nothing exceptional. (yet!)

Thanks Luis, but I cannot access either of those two sites you present

There must be some problem with your browser/internet link, Ron - Luis' links both work perfectly for me and the .png one is just to a picture of a graph.

Sorry for typos, the links work for me :-)

It must be a problem with your ISP.. or something local.

Thankyou Peter so much for that link.

Thankyou also for the kind invitation, I felt very special indeed!
As passionate as I am about this topic, I feel however there are plenty of others that could give this presentation more justice than I could, for I am just a beginner really.

I'm with Ron and Suzy, no go on those links.

The connection has timed out
The server at etacar.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar is taking too long to respond.

Anyone monitoring the spectrum of Eta????
If it "blows" we'll get the first light in the Southern Hemisphere - it would be a great catch for Australian observers......

Hi Ken,

I monitored H alpha intermittently in 2009-10 but since late last year have been concentrating on a particular HeI line for the Royal Belgian Observatory ... all very steady in that region, so far.
