My Sloan photometry shows that it is currently getting redder as it fades. I assume that this is due to the current dominant H-alpha emission.

I don’t have the Sloan passbands in a digitised form to hand but H alpha emission currently accounts for approximately 40% of the flux in the Bessell R passband

EDIT: About 50% in Sloan r’

Cheers
