From: "Sergio A. Ilovaisky" <ilovaisky@obs-hp.fr>

Hello,

Observations of V1333 Aql/Aql X-1 obtained from 2003 March 4 through March
10 UT using the OHP 1.2-m telescope and CCD camera show the object reached a
maximum brightness of V=16.2.

This is a full 3 magnitudes above minimum, which is approximately 5.4
magnitudes above true quiescence (when corrected for the contribution by the
near-by star). 

This is typical of the maximum levels reached during the large 1995 and 1998
outbursts.
