V380 Oph

I submitted a few observations of V380 Oph and I would appreciate a second look. It appears to be increasing in magnitude but I was worried that something was wrong with my observations since they are out of line with the recent past. I have submitted other observations of other stars which are in line. They are listed as SJMJ. Will obviously delete them if you find something anomalous with my submissions.
