It is not yet clear whether V705 Cas is indeed starting to fade. Below I've noted M. Nakatani's, T. Vanmunster's, A. Diepvens, and Poyner`s observations of the last few nights. As you can see, perhaps the nova has become more (stochastically) active. It is important to establish whether V705 Cas is in fact fading, or becoming more active. Continued monitoring as frequently as possible is warranted in either case.
