MM Sco observation by Bernard Heathcote Dear Colleagues, We have received May 27 fully analyzed data of MM Sco from Bernard Heathcote. The object was fading at a rate of 0.5 mag/d. There was an indication of 0.05 mag variations, which may be either related to orbital or superhump-type modulation. Although the observation does not exclude the possibility of the early stage of a superoutburst, the fainter magnitude than in the past superoutbursts makes it more likely a normal outburst. In any case, this would be the first time-resolved photometry of a faint (normal?) outburst of this object. Keep observing if the object is recorded still bright.
