[vsnet-chat 2358] R CrB sequence



Dear all,

When observing R CrB recently I (again) noted that the AAVSO-sequence is
looking very odd in the magnitude 12-14 region. To me comparisons 122,
137 and 140 look OK, more or less, but the 126, 131, and 135 look (much)
brighter.

Can somebody supply me with better magnitudes? And if this is not
available, can somebody do photometry in the magnitude 12-15 range? This
would be very useful.

Recent VSNET-postings also suggest that something odd is going on here.
See the recent observations below. Since about October 11, when R CrB
started to fade through the poor magnitude range, the scatter, which is
normally less than 0.5 magnitude, occasionally increased to about 1.0
magnitude, and only so when one ignores 2 apparent erroneous
observations, possibly due to misidentification of the variable.

Best regards,
