V551 Sgr: rapid fading The object is apparently fading rapidly. The fading has been also observed by the Kyoto observation and observation by Kiyota-san, Tanabe-san and the Okayama U. of Sci. team (the details will follow later). The outburst may have been a normal outburst, or may be a precursor outburst. In the latter case, we may expect a rebrightening. Further monitoring is encouraged. The outburst images have been relayed to Yamaoka-san for astrometry.
