UX Orionis seems to be undergoing a quick fade in brightness, by over a magnitude in 24 hours!
As usual, I'm behind in reporting estimates to the database, but here's a summary of what I've seen so far over the last three weeks:
August 22 9:11 UT = 9.2 magnitude.
August 24 9:11 UT = 9.2 magnitude.
August 29 8:59 UT = 9.3 magnitude.
August 30 8:45 UT = 9.2 magnitude.
September 11 8:22 UT = 9.8 magnitude.
September 12 8:43 UT = 11.0 magnitude.
Thanks and good observing!
Paul
