Abstract

(Abstract only) José Brazilício de Souza was musician, cosmography professor, and an amateur astronomer who lived in Florianópolis, Brazil. He made several visual observations: comets, solar, eclipses, planetary, and moon observations between 1882 and 1909. Among his data we found some Mira (ο Cet) estimates. This paper shows his Mira records and a phased light curve using elements for 1881.
