RS Ophiuchi has an outburst (August 8th). The first since 2006. It went from nag 12.3 to 4.5.
Right ascension: 17h 50m 13.2s Declination: −06° 42′ 28″
I captured literally through clouds last night.
Very interesting object & one of only 7 known.
Screen shot attached (I can’t seem to load even a 2MB file).
