[Aavso-photometry] Opinion needed

I was taking a time series of CoRoT-2 hoping to catch a transit of its
planet. Clouds seemed to have cut off the onset and finish of the
transit ( :-( ) but in between the data seemed fairly smooth - except
for the nearly 15 minute brightening shown in the light curve at
<http://jamesroe.com/CoRoT2-20080812.JPG>
Remember, the transit was going on during all of this data.
The target is the data represented by squares and two comp stars (in
ensemble) are the diamonds. The comp curve closest to the target is
only 52 arcsecs away from the target, while the other is some 8 arcmin
away (presumably negating potential flat field problems with the
intermittent clouds?).
I can't see any obvious changes in the images involved. Can anyone
suggest what might have happened? Is it worth following up in some manner?
