V603 Aql: indeed systematically fainter?
Most recent observations by Doug West. The object looks indeed
systematically fainter than the past years, even taking the slow general
fading since the nova outburst into account.

For the sake of comparison, I added my 2002 CCDV observations below. I used the same CCD camera, filter, comparison stars, and check star. In other words, all the observations were taken and reduced in an identical manor. The observations indicate to me that in general the nova has gotten fainter and the amplitude of variation is larger. More observations will be required to confirm this change.
