[Aavso-photometry] IL Aqr Update: 041021

[Shawn Dvorak (RHO)]

Here in Central Florida the early evening clouds gave way to mostly clear 
skies, and I just finished up a series running from 01:39 through 05:00 UT. 
Final reduction has not been performed, but there's no obvious change in 
brightness if IL Aqr.  It was constant to about 0.01 mag.
