Ran across the reddest star I think I've ever seen last night at around RA19 Dec 6d11 - can't get very precise with my dob. Startlingly red where most star colors I see are a bit muted.

Here are a few lists of carbon stars. My particular favorites are V Aquilae, S Cephei, V Hydrae, R Leporis, and T Lyrae.
