Has anyone else observed this star lately. It is very low in the south and from my place, it has recently been obsured by cloud. But last night I recorded it at 11.1 (Dec 08.373), about 1.5 mags below where it normally is. I will try again tonight.

S Aps Fading Again?

Hi Stephen,

S Apodis down to 12.03 TG a couple of hours ago. Thanks for the heads up.

S APS continues to fade

Last night it was down to 139. I wonder if this decline will be as deep as the 2013-2104 event.
