[vsnet-campaign 1579] Re: [vsnet-alert 8475] V841 Oph fainter than usual?

[Keith Geary]

Taichi, can you tell us exactly what is it's normal post outburst level? I
personally observed this star on May 28 at <12.6 magnitude
I must get a bigger scope!

V841 OPH   MAY 28.9903     2453519.4903      <12.6   GKI

Keith..
