T CrB continuing drop in B magnitude

The drop in the B magnitude of T CrB that Dr. Shaefer had predicted (and announced the start at the end of June) has become even more pronounced over the last two weeks. It's down another half a magnitude, while V and I have stayed relatively constant. Surely we'll be seeing an outburst here in the coming months - let's hope it doesn't occur while the star is close to the sun.
