Alert Notice 752: Rare Outburst of Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi (backup copy)

Notes: Post-outburst observations continue to be valuable and of interest. Please continue to observe RS Oph.  -  Elizabeth O. Waagen, July 2, 2024, September 30, 2024

Please continue to observe RS Oph, although the 2021 outburst is over. It returned to a fainter magnitude than before the outburst, so ongoing follow-up observations will be very valuable.  -  Elizabeth O. Waagen, April 4, 2022
