WZ Sge fading: recovering?

Dear Colleagues,

    Very preliminary analysis of the Kyoto data last night (observer
R. Ishioka) confirms the rapid fading as reported by Uemura-san.
The object reached the faintest magnitude since the discovery of the
outburst.

    However, there was a steep rise between 11.51 and 11.55 UT (analysis
of the following times still in progress).  Further observation is
still most urgently requested in order to follow the observed trend!

    We have also confirmd PSF photometry has yielded sufficiently good
quality data even at minimum and with short (4s) exposures.
Please continue observing with your usual protocols.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
