Variable of the Month

T Centauri

Here is a variable star that is bright, easy to find, and has a short enough period that you can follow it through its entire cycle in just 3 months. The magnitude range is from about 6.0 to about 8.0 and the period is given as 91 days. In fact you could follow this star with just a good pair of binoculars.
