About this image

Thanks Jeremy for drawing my attention to this interesting recurring nova in Corona Borealis, Al Iklil (the crown) in old Arabic. Will it reach mag.2 in the near future as happened in 1866 and 1946? will keep watching!

Hi Mazin,

Leslie Peltier wrote about his uneasy truce with T CrB in his wonderful book Starlight Nights.
