V404 Cyg: reach the outburst maximum? but still violent variations

       Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team (K. Antonyuk, A. Antonyuk,
S. Bilan, and A. Baklanov relayed by Elena Pavlenko), Lew Cook,
Javier Ruiz, and Colin Littlefield have reported new observations.
The magnitude of V404 Cyg might reach the outburst maximum.
The maximum magnitude was a bit smaller than that of yesterday.
In addition, on average, the mean magnitude was a bit smaller
by about 0.1 mag than that of yesterday.
However, the light curve still showed violent variations within
a few seconds ~ several minutes with various amplitudes
of 0.2~2.0 mag.
Please keep the present excellent observations.
We should pay attention to the behavior of V404 Cyg
after the outburst maximum.
