[vsnet-alert 117] AL Com started to fade??

[Taichi Kato <SDI00707@niftyserve.or.jp>]

  Through a gap in the clouds, we could obtain a small number of CCD images
of AL Com tonight.  The following summary of these three nights suggests
that the decline rate has increased considerably, or there may be a super-
imposed wave with a time scale of several days.  Follow-up photometric
observations are needed.
