[vsnet-campaign-be 138] Delta Scorpii



Dear friends:
                   78 days after the previous maxima (V= 1.70) delta Scorpii
has brightened slightly (after almost a month near 1.77) to reach 1.74
tonight. If everything goes as expected, this week it will start falling
again. Notice that this maximum has been fainter than the previous one for
the first time in the outburst's history, probably showing that the
descending trend is starting.

Let's see.

Possible times of minima and maxima from my observations:
