Hi all,

I've been measuring the mag of SN 2023ixf regularly since it exploded back in May. The magnitude in R, V and B has been gradually fading in recent weeks, but in the last three days I believe I have detected another rapid drop.

All my data is in the photometry database and here are a couple of images of my mag graphs:
