VY Scl: started a deep fading?

   The most recent ASAS-3 observations suggest that the VY Scl-type prototype
has entered a deep fading.  The object has been reported to be undetectable
on the most recent two images.  A look at the image suggests that the
object has faded much fainter than V=14.5.  The initial indication of
this fading was reported in June by Steve Kerr.  Following a gradual
fading, the fading rate seems to have recently increased.  The object
may reach mag 18 as inferred from the past deepest minimum.

   Further observations are strongly encouraged.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
