R Coronae Borealis has shown a major brightening since early January,
2001. I report the following visual observations:

CRBR        20010206.15    6.7  GRL  L70;24x   E-2;G+7 (2)       HIP

Comparison stars (V magnitudes from HIP and TYC2, visual from BAA):
E = 6.46 (HIP), G = 7.43 (HIP), M = 8.86 (TYC2), 10 = 9.23 (TYC2),
P = 9.51 (HIP), 11 = 9.96 (TYC2), U = 11.79 (BAA), W = 12.20 (BAA). 

Observer: B. H. Granslo (Fjellhamar, Norway). Instruments: 203-mm SCT,
  70-mm refractor, 7x50 binoculars. Observations are Pogson step
  estimates.
