AG PEGASI
In The Astronomer Vol 52 No 615 p67 [2015 July] John Toone reported that his
observations showed AG Pegasi, a symbiotic variable, had risen from mag 8.5
on 2015 June 9 to mag 7.6 on June 19. Further observations by John and by
other observers showed AG Peg continued to rise in brightness, as was shown
in the accompanying light curve of that issue. Observations from early July
were suggesting, however, that the outburst peaked at around mag 7.1-7.2.
According to the AAVSO this outburst was the first recorded since 1860-1870!

After a fade John Toone has again reported a brightening:
2015 Oct 7, 8.0 (2104UT), Oct 9, 7.6 (2037UT).

Confirmation: Oct 09.92, 7.6 (Gary Poyner, 10x50B); Oct 10.003, 7.6
(Poyner); 12.870, 7.7 (Guy Hurst, 15x80B); 13.928, 7.9 (Hurst)

A chart, under reference 094.02, can be found on the BAAVSS webpage.
