Frappa comment: After a look at your noisy light curve sent on January and also regarding the fact that your target star is partially u saturated, I have considered this observation to be inconclusive, not positive or negative: a potential event could be drowned in the variations of the curve because of the very small predicted mag drop (0.15).
