Also posted in the time-sensitive alerts forum, the VY Scl-type star MV Lyr appears to be entering a low state. It's currently down to V~14.5, more than two magnitudes below its normal high state. The last low state, where the star fell to 18th magnitude, occurred in 2015. Prior to 2015, the star faded roughly once per year.
