WZ Sge: stopped fading!

Dear Colleagues,

   We have finished the full analysis of Sep. 13 data (Kyoto and Ouda).
The observation consistently showed rapid linear fading, as reported in
the preceding reports.

   We have just received new data from B. Martin.  Martin's data clearly
indicate that the fading trend has completely stopped or even brightened
(though the zero-point uncertainly has made direct comparison rather
difficult).  Martin's observations also clearly show large-amplitude
complex modulations, which may suggest the next rebrightening is just
ongoing.  The hump feature on Martin's data seems to be different from
that observer during the preceding minimum phase on Sep. 11.  Further
analysis is keenly in progress.

   The star may be brightening now, and further intensive observations
are most strongly wanted!!

Regards,
