About this image

Time is approximate. Black denotes running median filter. Magenta denotes raw data. V1 merely means default method of assessing Zp was employed.

A plot showing the brightness of V347 Aur increasing. It was still doing the same the next night and was over a magnitude brighter than a couple of nights before. Well worth a look as now the star is brightening the adjacent reflection nebula may brighten too.

The data for the 2nd night was slightly corrupted by passing cloud.
