Fellow LPV'ers,
T Cas is another good, interesting target.
T Cas is currently the only known possible dual-maximum Mira in the northern hemisphere.
Frank Schorr wrote an excellent LPV of the Month article on it. https://www.aavso.org/lpv-month-july-2017
The star appears to be coming out of maximum and it will be good to follow it to see if it starts to brighten again.
It's a bright star. It was observed at 8.64 V on 10/4.

Spooky! I specialise in YSOs and CVs but just a few days ago I downloaded a chart for T Cas. I think the sky is trying to tell me something!
One must always listen to the sky!.
LPVs need love too.

There is a lot of good info on Dual-Max Miras here from Stan Walker.

Yep, newbie observer here who has put T Cas on my LPV autumn list and have made several V and B measures already. Thanks for the encouragement, RRIA.
