The professional astronomers skeptical of a predictive model and their reasoning that a proposed "third body" in the system causing the eruption is equivocal at best:

The figures below summarize my Seestar observations from 3/16/2024 through 3/29/2025. The top figure is the data summarized in time-order. The bottom figure is a phase diagram that shows the data synchronized with the red giant's orbital period of 227.53 days.

 

 

The recent brightening event appears to be over.

Is TCrb a bit more red than usual?

T CrB is to the upper right of IC 4587 in this Seestar S50 image that I captured on Wednesday morning from the Naylor Observatory.

Newest, latest date for the event, (after the June 25, 2026 date) is February 8 2027!

 

"Researchers have proposed probable dates for the next nova events of T CrB: March 27, 2025; November 10, 2025; June 25, 2026; and February 8, 2027. However, these dates are not certain due to the unpredictable nature of stellar explosions. "When you look more closely at the data of the past outbursts, you find that the time intervals of the successive events are an integer multiple of the orbital period," said astronomer Jean Schneider, according to IFLScience."

Hmm, I'm taking that with a major grain of stardust....
