Brett's Carbon Star Hunt - May 2021
Posted: Sat May 01, 2021 2:53 pm
Hello all and welcome to the May 2021 Edition of "Brett's Carbon Star Hunt".
My observing time has been nothing since October or so, I think I am in an observing low, it happens. We'll see how things go.
I hope you all are able to get out and observe these - they really are nice stars.
T Lyr - (7.84 - 9.60) - I *believe* this is the first Carbon Star I observed when I was at the Observatory B&B in British Columbia a long while ago now - almost 7 years ago now.
Data can be found here, and observations can be found here.
T Dra - (7.2 - 13.5) - Data is found here, and the observation log can be found here.
TW Oph - (11.6 - 13.8) - This is the more difficult challenge of the month, dimmer than the other targets, hopefully everyone likes the challenge! Data found here and observation log here.
I hope everyone is able to get out and observe!
