Right now my little Seestar S50 sees it at 9.5 mag in the green filter. I had set this as the alarm value in my automatic watchdog script so literally an alarm was sounding, but currently it stays stable at 9.5 mag, so no cigar quite yet. I guess I’ll have to raise (well, lower) the magnitude bar a bit to avoid false alarms.

Still, 9.5 mag is a bit on the bright side of what I’ve seen so far. Let’s say it’s probably not the time to get sloppy about observing this one!!
