Well, according to the just released TASS data it was at V 11.8 ish at
about August 1.2 UT, so that's either a very short outburst cycle, a
slow climb, or one of those short pre-outburst brightening hiccups CVs
occasionally have... ...or nobody looking between end of July & Aug 6th
;)

(mags of V 12.6 - 12.9 on t'other three, earlier, nights when seen).

Cheers
