On the CVNet page, under 'Activity at a Glance – New outbursts and unusual activity reported in the last 72 hours' – the star V HYA is listed. But VSX describes it was an SRA. Am I missing something or is this star developing into a CV?

Re: V Hya

Stephen,

It looks like I left a letter out when I edited the page yesterday.  Sorry about the confusion.  I'll remove it now.

V Hya is indeed a transitory Carbon star but from AGB to a PPN (pre-planetary nebula).
