Dear friends: Delta Scorpii is now brighter than ever before. It is probably a third maximum of the great eruption that started in June 2000. Which raises the question of when it is going to stop its activity. It seems like every maximum is a little brighter than the previous one and the star is slowly increasing its mean magnitude. Poor coverage at this time of the year doesn't allow a full follow-up, but now the star is already high enough in the pre-dawn sky to get very good estimates again.
