1RXS J023238.8-371812: still active

The object is still active although ~20 days have passed 
since the rapid fading from the outburst.

Since the quiescent counterpart of the object is proposed 
to have 18th mag. (vsnet-alert 9620), the object keeps 
the active state ~2 mag brighter than quiescence. 
In normal SU UMa/WZ Sge systems, long fading tails are 
observed after superoutbursts. 
In J0232, no gradual fading trend can be seen. 
This is a quite peculiar object.
