We report the discovery of eight new R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the MACHO project photometry database. The discovery of these new stars increases the number of known RCB stars in the LMC to thirteen. We have also discovered four stars similar to the Galactic variable DY Per. ... We find a much larger range of absolute magnitudes (MV=-2.5 to -5 mag) than inferred from the small pre-MACHO sample of LMC RCB stars. ...

. Number of Supernovae discovered by amateurs. In this page the amateurs' contribution in supernovae discoveries is shown. The SN 1957B was the first supernova discovered by an amateur astronomer: Giuliano Romano. He discovered it with his own 0.40 mt. telescope at Treviso (Italy), then later he become a professional. This graph is updated to SN 2000ek . Yellow values are SNe discovered by amateurs, red ones the total number of SNe discovered for each year .
