Mira brightens
The variable star Mira is currently a naked eye object as it
approaches maximum which should be in March IIRC. Here's a shot of it taken from Norway... http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/Omega/T...4-nolables.jpg If you're having trouble spotting it, here's a marked up version... http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/Omega/T...5-Mira_800.jpg -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk
