Hi WR enthusiasts!

Just to let you know, we have 4 nights at the CHARA Array next week to examine the high angular resolution environment of WR stars. We should be able to see any binary companions to the campaign stars and see if WR 134 and WR 135 are single (as expected). WR 137 will be able to be resolved into the two stars in the system.

I'll hopefully get data on some other WR binaries to resolve their properties, but I want to encourage the amateurs to really press on with the campaign so that we understand what these stars are doing when we observe them with a new technique next week.

Hi all, the CHARA observations are going great, with nearly perfect weather. We have one last half night tonight to finish the interferometry.

Many thanks for all the support for the campaign!

Cheers,

Noel
