Position: 23 49 30.14 +22 01 29.6

ZTF Lasair online data: https://lasair.roe.ac.uk/object/ZTF20abgbxco/

Again, ATLAS forced photometry server (Tonry et al., 2018) has additional
points showing two more rebrightenings before the 2020 July 07 highest peak
observed by ZTF. A very unusual outburst light curve:

Unfortunately there is a gap in ATLAS data from 2020 June 09.61 (last point
before the outburst) to June 21.56 UT.

There was another past outburst in December 2011 - January 2012 in Catalina
Sky Survey Data (Drake et al., 2004).
