I recorded and stacked 34 min of Rc images of PV Cep last night, 22nd October. These show that PV Cep was slightly fainter than the previous month at Rc = 17.24 and that the northern part of Gyulbudagian’s Nebula remains faint while the southern part is brighter than I remember seeing it for a long time. The southern part of the surrounding molecular cloud may be becoming more transparent as it seems less likely that changing illumination from PV Cep is the cause.
