[vsnet-alert 15211] Re: 2MASS J10411620-6345487 bright

[Sebastián Otero]

It is a 423 d. mira, IRAS 10394-6330, spectral type M9 with a maximum 
magnitude in ASAS-3 of 11.5 in the visual and a minimum fainter than 16.8 
according to Skiff's spectral type catalogue.

One of those rather bright miras that are still unnoticed.

You can submit it to VSX using the above information and ASAS as the 
reference.

Nice finding.

Cheers,
Sebastian
