Earlier this evening I measured N CMa 2018 at 10.45V -- almost as bright as its apparent peak on 3-29-2018.  BVRI data submitted.

For some reason LCG only plots the newest points for me when I select calendar date, not Julian date(?).  Interesting behavior!

That's because those are the only observations in the database. Go to WEBOBS and you will see what I mean. The first observation is 24 March.

N CMA 2018 Brightening?

Shows up fine now.  Sometimes it seems to take a while for observations to be displayed by LCG;  I don't know that data pipeline.

There's a chance I might be able to measure this system again this evening -- will be interesting to see if we're seeing a long, fluctuating peak, or just a lump on the way down.

Clear skies,
