Bryukhanov (semi-professional, semi-amateur), uses to estimate Zeta Aur visually. Recently he reports (NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME) an unpredicted fading of the star and asks is someone could check the star's brightness photoelectrically. I'll see what I can do in Russia, but I don't expect much success, first of all because of weather. Can someone help Mr. Bryukhanov in Japan? Best regards Kolya
