I have more than once seen VW Hyi fainter than normal just before rising. It seems to be part of the outburst 'kick-start'. I am certain that this is a known phenomenon...

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?
