> delta Sco: first magnitude star?? > > Ohshima-san (the discoverer of the 2001 superoutburst of WZ Sge) > reports that delta Sco may have become a first magnitude star! > > SCOdelta 20030426.733 15 Oht.VSOLJ > SCOdelta 20030426.750 14 Oht.VSOLJ Take it easy, delta Sco is brightening but by that time it was at V= 1.67 (Brian Fraser's PEP and my visual observations) Anyway we can't rule out this possibility, since the supposed end of the outburst that we mentioned in IBVS 5352 (http://www.konkoly.hu/cgi-bin/IBVS?5352 ) was totally wrong. The outburst has become even stronger and making predcitions would be a waste of time. We'd better observe. Regards, Sebastian.
