I observed this amazing object again this evening, and noticed it has brightened significantly over past 24 hours. In addition, the chaotic ultra-short variations in brightness seems to have increased its range to >0.5 mag compared to ~0.4 yesterday. The periodicity remains on the order of a second to a few seconds, but the mean brightness tends toward mag 12.0, on the higher end of the range 12.5-11.8: which I observed in 15mins of continuous visual monitoring between 20020522.4097 and 20020522.4201 The following observations are just representative points, the actual variations occur at an unprecedented rate for even 4 decimal CV reporting. SGRV4641 20020522.4132 11.8: LMK SGRV4641 20020522.4133 12.3 LMK Note that visual observation or video recording is the only way to monitor the full range of the brightness variations. CCD would be limited by the integration times and thus yield only a mean value, unless one has sufficient aperture to do sub-second integrations. Mike Linnolt Honolulu, HI
