[Aavso-photometry] [AAVSO-DIS] SS Cygni?

[dillon1 at houston.oilfield.slb.com]

I imaged SS Cyg again using a GRAS telescope in Israel (Mar 28.119 UT).  SS Cyg has brightened more than a magnitude since Bjorn's observation.

Good call Matt, thanks for the alert, and to JM for making the initial out-of-bounds estimate, and to Bjorn for showing it was not a glitch.

Shalom,

--Bill
