According to the ephemeris, delta Scorpii is fading and the outburst is already past maximum, since this last cycle the star only got to 1.74. Tonight is at its faintest state since the end of the year 2000. Observations: CENeta 20010827.927 2.38 OSE CENmu 20010827.931 3.48 OSE SCOdelta 20010827.929 1.86 OSE And mu Centauri stayed at minimum after June's outburst, which is a behaviour I haven't seen recently in this star, that used to brighten by 0.15 mag. every roughly 55 days...
