I can confirm some brightening of V818 Sco...

20050512 05:58UT V=11.9 LMK
Comps 114 124 RASNZ chart 387 FMB31.1.77 and 11.80 Tycho2+Bessell,
however this chart may be poor as the 114 is marked as possibly variable.

And, V803 Cen is quite bright too...

20050512 05:42UT V=13.0 LMK
Comps 134, 139 RASNZ 928 FMB1.6.88

Obs using 20cm reflector.
Clear Skies & Aloha!
