Berto Monard has kindly provided observations. The phenomenon might be
an egress from an eclipse, as was observed in U Sco.
In any case, further observations would tell what is going on!
Given the faintness and significant interstellar reddening, multicolor
photometry won't be very promising. Unfiltered photometry would do the best.
