Caught this at 13.3 last night. It's been 273 days since the last deep minimum but given what Kun et al have to say on this object:-

"The eclipsing-like phase curve... shows a secondary minimum but this feature is outlined by a few visual data only thus it may not be a real phenomenon. If it exists, it may indicate an asymmetric distribution of the circumstellar matter."
(Kun et al, IBVS 6089)

it may be worth watching!
