Dear Colleagus, I've forgotten to mention that during this second run the star experienced a very modest fading (or not at all), so maybe that it reached a sort of constant plateau after the fading seen at Kyoto. Of corse, ongoing observetions will be important to see any evidence of this. Good luck to the Kyoto team and to other involved observers with their observations. I plan to start tonight around 19:45 UT and to keep observing until 02.00 UT, if clear.
