Speaking of carbon stars, I was poking around in the area of the Rosette
Nebula (could have been way off too) when I stumbled across a _very_ red
star. Any guesses, that I might be able to go back and look for it again?

Stephen -

I don't know this one, but that is a pretty vague set of coordinates
you gave. - The following is list of potentials I pulled off Simbad.
Maybe V668 Mon?
