Last evening, I observed Canis Minor with my 10X50 binoculars. Procyon looks like a completely white star in binoculars which means it's slightly hotter than our own star. Above Procyon, is a 3rd magnitude hot blue star called Gomeisa. It has a very blue look to it in my binoculars. Earlier, I observed Betelgeuse again & it may be starting to get brighter. In my eyes it's now about 1.5 magnitude compared to 1.6 magnitude about 10 days ago. More observations to come.
