Sun Mar 9 09:44:51 JST 2008

Good morning,

The LMC suspected SDOR type star V733 LMC (HD 296006; RMC 71) appears to be
undergoing a brightness increase that may have commenced around 2007
October.  To my eye this star has previously shown little variation around
magnitude 10.7, suggesting the current state may be its brightest in the
past 3 decades.  Recent visual observations:
