Hi Frank,
I made a recent observation of the SR star L2 Pup and found it unusually
faint at around magnitude 7.2. Over recent years it appears cycles of this
star have been getting gradually fainter and this is clearly the faintest
it has been during the 26-odd years I have been monitoring it (since 1972
Dec). It was clearly fainter than usual at the end of last season which
seems to have continued through to the present, as shown by the following
observations :
