[vsnet-chat 6059] Re: SU UMA unusually faint



Its interesting that my faint observation was just shortly before it
outburst.

0803+62  SU UMA     FEB 22.8720  2452693.372    14.9   PYG  V
0803+62  SU UMA     FEB 23.3681  2452693.8681   15.3   LMK
0803+62  SU UMA     FEB 23.7972  2452694.2972   14.2   VJA
0803+62  SU UMA     FEB 24.7951  2452695.2951   11.9   GUN  Y

I would like to know what comp stars PYG and VJA used. I used the new
Simonsen/Henden chart, which has significantly fainter magnitudes for the
comps than the official aavso charts. For example I used the Henden 150
and 155 comps, which are labelled as 142 and 146, respectively on the
aavso e 2/97 chart.

So, the question is is there a significant fade just before outburst, or
is it just an illusion due to different comp stars being used?
