Hi all,

I must apologise. I have been wrongly using the B mags for my R filters since 5th September! I am in the process of replacing them in the database!

Hi all,

Hi all,

I’ve been monitoring V615 Vul in R, V and B since early August and I’ve noticed in the last 5 or since days that the R and V mags have closed right up. See attached.

Not sure if this is of any significance?

Cheers
Ian.

Hopefully someone else caught it last night – Ian?

Hi Magnus,

Unfortunately not. The weather has been poor here (I can’t get it from Spain anymore). Looking promising for tomorrow (Monday) evening….

Cheers
Ian.

Unless there is something seriously off with my routine, I captured it at around magnitude 13 yesterday. Here is a series designed for mag 16 (Clear filter, 5 min exposures).

That’s amazing Magnus!

Poor weather here last night, but I reckon there’s a decent chance I’ll be able to get it again tonight.

Cheers
Ian.

[Mr Ian David Sharp]

Hi all,

I managed 26 x 180s images last night – see attached. I concur with Gary and Magnus that it is down at about mag. 16.2 in V.

Cheers
Ian.

Clouds rolled in here near Selsey about two hours before the start.

I managed these video clips through cloud gaps and haze:

Hi all,

My recent measurements in V show a very linear looking fade. I just added last night’s measurements.

Cheers
