VY Scl: fading episode! Steve Kerr reports (vsnet-obs 45445) that VY Scl is fainter than usual. > SCLVY 20030608.798 13.9 SKe (S. Kerr) > > VY Scl seems a little fainter than I am used to seeing it ... The ASAS-3 data also indicate that the object is 0.5-0.7 mag fainter than usual. This may be a start of a fading episode, which has not been observed in recent years. In deepest minima, the object may reach as faint as 18.5 mag. Observers are strongly urged to monitor this "VY Scl-type" prototype object. Regards, Taichi Kato
