Well, we are under a "kona weather" condition here and next days, not good for observing with haze, clouds and VOG(volcanic smog). Again, I got a window to observe the "new variable". Apparently its becoming more likely I was observing the 155 comp star all along. Tonite, it again seems to be in a brighter state, but not as bright as the initial time. So, it seems to be brighter now for the majority of time I see it! If this star is the OT, it definitely has suddenly entered a new state - brighter, short term fluctuation. It still kind of appears slightly to the south of the position in DSS from Simonsen's chart. Could it have high proper motion?? We need more eyes on this star, to get a complete light curve and classification! Also, it might be good to get an official designator for it and in the AAVSO validation file too, so I can start entering my WebObs.
