[vsnet-campaign 112] XTE J1118+480 light curve changed again

[Lew Cook <lcoo@yahoo.com>]

By last night the light curve of this star had changed so that the
decrease from maximum to minimum light occurred in about half an hour
with the rest of the cycle that I saw (I only got ~3.5 hours of it)
shows a slow rise - underneath the scatter. The prior shape change
had been just the reverse -  the decrease was slow and the increase
was quick, so I would guess there is something precessing around
there.
