Athough it has been trending slightly fainter lately, the most recent observation of MV Lyrae could indicate it is about to enter one of its well-documented, but rare, fading episodes.
MV LYR 2013 Jul. 15.11740 13.5 Vis. BTY
Please keep an eye on this one to confirm if this is so, and if it is, be sure to add MV Lyr to your nightly vigil.
Hello Mike
Thanks for pointing this out. I am on ACK starting today. May get to observe Wed. Weather permitting. Have been watching for a couple of weeks or more. Weather here poor.
