Burzynski): Seems to be a positive event. At the same second as the prediction. The predicted mag drop of 11 was not achieved - this could mean an unknown binary star or a too slow shutter speed. The prediction gave a maximum 0.4 second occultation, and so was the shutter speed. This dipped exposure was still catching light when the star was not fully occulted. Possibly hence the incomplete decrease in brightness by the predicted magnitude 11. In the WDS catalog, however, there is nothing about the double star.
