Multi-epoch phase-referencing VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observations with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) were performed for the symbiotic star R Aquarii (R Aqr) from September 2005 to Oct 2006. Tracing one of the $v=2$, $J=1-0$ SiO maser spots, we measured an annual parallax of $pi = 4.59pm0.24$ mas, corresponding to a distance of $218_{-11}^{+12}$ pc. Our result is consistent with earlier distance measurements, but yields the highest accuracy of about $5%$ level. Applying our distance, we derived an absolute K-band magnitude of $M_{mathrm{K}} = -7.71 pm 0.11$, which is consistent with the recent Period-Luminosity relation by VLBI parallax measurements for 5 OH-Mira variables. In addition, the expansion age of an inner nebulae around R Aqr is found to be about 240 years, corresponds to about the year 1773.

In this proceeding, we present a short review of the fascinating nebulosities of symbiotic binary R Aquarii. The R Aquarii system, comprising the central binary and surrounding nebular material, has been the subject of near-continuous study since its
discovery, with a few hundred papers listed in ADS. As such, it is impossible to provide here the comprehensive review that R Aquarii deserves, instead we chose to focus on the nebulosities -- covering both our own research and other relevant results from the literature.
The first results on new optical data for R Aquarii (based on observations obtained with the 2.5m INT, the 2.5m NOT and the 3.5m NTT) are presented. The morphology and kinematics of the nebula, based on data obtained with the NTT from 1991 to 2000, a
re discussed. Physical parameters of the outer nebula and the knotty jet are derived using spectra obtained with the INT in 2001. From the analysis of all these data we propose that the spectacular knotty inner structure of R Aqr could result from the interaction of a highly collimated pulsating young jet with the older hourglass inner nebula.
We are performing a search for symbiotic stars using IPHAS, the INT Halpha survey of the northern Galactic plane, and follow-up observations. Candidate symbiotic stars are selected on the basis of their IPHAS and near-IR colours, and spectroscopy and
photometry are obtained to determine their nature. We present here observations of the symbiotic star candidate IPHAS J205836.43+503307.2. The optical spectrum shows the combination of a number of emission lines, among which are the high-excitation species of [OIII], HeII, [Ca V], and [Fe VII], and a red continuum with the features of a star at the cool end of the carbon star sequence. The nebular component is spatially resolved: the analysis of the spatial profile of the [NII]6583 line in the spectrum indicates a linear size of ~2.5 arcsec along the east-west direction. Its velocity structure suggests an aspherical morphology. The near-infrared excess of the source, which was especially strong in 1999, indicated that a thick circumstellar dust shell was also present in the system. The carbon star has brightened in the last decade by two to four magnitudes at red and near-infrared wavelengths. Photometric monitoring during a period of 60 days from November 2010 to January 2011 reveals a slow luminosity decrease of 0.2 magnitudes. From the observed spectrophotometric properties and variability, we conclude that the source is a new Galactic symbiotic star of the D-type, of the rare kind that contains a carbon star, likely a carbon Mira. Only two other systems of this type are known in the Galaxy.
Here we present quasi-simultaneous observations of the flickering of the symbiotic binary star CH Cyg in U, B and V bands. We calculate the flickering source parameters and discuss the possible reason for the flickering cessation in the period 2010-2013.
We analyse optical photometric data of short term variability (flickering) of the accreting white dwarf in the jet-ejecting symbiotic star MWC560. The observations are obtained in 17 nights during the period November 2011 - October 2019. The colour-m
agnitude diagram shows that the hot component of the system becomes redder as it gets brighter. For the flickering source we find that it has colour 0.14 < B-V < 0.40, temperature in the range 6300 < T_fl < 11000 K, and radius 1.2 < R_fl < 18 Rsun. We find a strong correlation (correlation coefficient 0.76, significance < 0.001) between B band magnitude and the average radius of the flickering source - as the brightness of the system increases the size of the flickering source also increases. The estimated temperature is similar to that of the bright spot of cataclysmic variables. In 2019 the flickering is missing, and the B-V colour of the hot component becomes bluer.
