Sorry to hear you’ve lost sight of the field of T CrB, Paul. For many it will become harder to follow as the autumn progresses, which is why it’s important for anyone that is able to access the field to continue to observe it. Towards the end of the year it becomes accessible in the morning.
I very much hope that an amateur detects the eruption- last time, 1946, it was two British observes that caught it, one a member of the BAA Variable Star Section.
