[Aavso-photometry] CSS 081231:071126+440405 ?

[James Bedient]

Our team is running a three hour time series on the object tonight
with the 2-m FTN telescope.  Incredible - it turns on and off like a
lightbulb on our images.

We're running 20-sec V-band images, and CSS 081231 is about 17.5 mag.
In eclipse it drops completely out of sight... I can see probably 20th
mag stars around it, but it's GONE.  Clearly the eclipses are still
very deep!  Photometry will follow after it's all in the can.  Another
1.5 hours to go.
