August 4, 2015: Dr. Gregory Sivakoff (U. of Alberta) has requested optical monitoring of the galactic microquasar V4641 Sgr beginning immediately, and continuing for the next 120 days, or until it is no longer observable from your location.
December 4, 2010: Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 428, the star FS Aurigae appears to be entering outburst. The star was in quiescence on 2010 December 3.22 (JD 2455533.72; V = 16.3, G. Lubcke) but had risen to V=14.9 on 2010 December 4.23 (JD 2455534.73; R. Campbell). Subsequent observations by H. McGee and A. Novichonok have confirmed that FS Aur is rising. Time series observations of FS Aurigae are encouraged at this time; any and all filters may be used including clear, but V filter is preferred.
