I’ve mentioned the independent discovery of the 1946 eruption of T CrB by 15-year old Michael Woodman in recent VSS Circulars.

I’ve recently had the privilege of meeting him and have subsequently written this note in RNAAS, highlighting how his observation helps to fill in our understanding of the early stage of the eruption:

I very much hope he will have the opportunity of seeing the next eruption, whenever that might occur.

Go well!
