I have just seen OY Car come out of a deep eclipse as detailed below:

Feb 22nd

Time (UT)            Mag

13:59                11.5
14:24                12.4
14:26                12.1
14:27                11.9
14:28                11.8
14:30                11.6
14:31                11.6

This compares well with the predicted minimum time of 14:23:52, although I
missed the star going into the eclipse.  Very exciting to see the rapid change
in brightness.
