V404 Cyg: violent variations and close to the maximum?

      Bill Goff, Lew Cook, Akazawa-san (via Imamura-san), 
and Tamas Tordai have reported new observations.
The light curve still showed violent variations within 
a few seconds ~ several minutes with various amplitudes 
of 0.2~2.0 mag.
The amplitudes gradually became smaller than a few days ago.
The maximum magnitude was a bit larger than that of yesterday.
However, the rising speed of the magnitude became very slower.
On average, the mean magnitude was roughly the same as 
that of yesterday.
Please keep the excellent observations.
We should take notice on the outburst maximum and the behavior
of V404 Cyg after it.
