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://vsnet.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.
