Greetings, intrepid observers.  A few gaps are beginning to show in
our coverage. We can't let this happen! Please get out there and
observe as long as you can! We're probably in the middle of the
decline  with only ~2 days left in the outburst. It currently is in
the 13's and dropping by 1.7-1.8 mags per day (thanks to QNK and BDG's
latest data and analysis). Remember to increase your SNR as it drops.
Time resolution is not as important as precision. Also, you now have
leave to go unfiltered if you must. :)

The decline thus far has been very interesting. No superhumps, but
lots of nice flares and structure. Mike Koppelman (KMP) has created an
average flux light curve showing some of the structure which we put
online along with new light curves at our web page (below).

Keep flooding me with data!
