Great job, Finbarr!
+5.6 sounds very good.
We are being promised clear skies on Wednesday night.
(I'm at a church party on Tuesday night).
It's a guarantee that I will observe S Crb.
Clear skies for this one, Aubrey.

Hello again Finbarr.
I see eta Crb has a magnitude 5.6.
It's an extremely tight binary - too tight for my apo refractor.
Best regards from Aubrey.

I'm not sure my post got through.
Here it is again.

That's funny Aubrey, I did see mag 5.55 on Stellarium for eta CrB, but AAVSO says 4.99 and Wikipedia 5.02?

Yes, Finbarr.
It all seems very confusing.
Burnham states that eta Crb A is 5 and a half. B is 6.
Sissy Haas gives A as 5.6. B is 6.0.
Guide 9.1 DVD varies from 5.0 to 5.6. B is 6.
Simbad gives A as 5.6.
Wikipedia gives A as 5.0.
Who are we to believe?
If the experts cannot agree, then how can we suss it out?
Madness!
And we trying to estimate S Crb.
Best regards from Aubrey.
