Wait, what's this? T CorB

Has T CorB "gone"?

I checked recent results from AAVSO at about 17:30 local time.

Star	JD	Calendar Date	Magnitude	Error	Filter	Observer
T Crb	2460647.06597	2024 Dec. 02.56597	<6.0	0.1	V	HQA
T Crb	2460647.03	2024 Dec. 02.53000	9.8	-	Vis	BRG
T Crb	2460646.96597	2024 Dec. 02.46597	<5.6	-	Vis	TRIB
T Crb	2460646.45344	2024 Dec. 01.95344	11.341	0.0048	B	DEY

Inevitably, we're under 8/8ths cloud cover here.

18:10 (JD 2,460,647.26182) Not managing to get an updated measurement listing. But that's a fifth of a day ago. (0.19 JD), 4 and a bit hours. Is there a problem in the hardware?

My "Astro-COLIBRI" is reporting an "unclassified optical transient", but that's at a Dec of 31.57° N, which is … actually, that is in the right range (25~35) for the constellation. But T Corb is at dec 25.9°, so … I'm going to have to convert between RA systems.

OK,converter written, the optical transient ("AT2024addv") was only 5 degrees off in declination - which is a plausible error, but 36° off in right ascension, which is not a plusiible error. But the AAVSO website hasn't posted any more results as of 19:15. Then Firefox crashed. [SIGH]

Anything on other astronomy news sites? S&T? Nope. Astronomy.Com ? nope. CBAT ? Nope.

Has T CorB "gone"?

It looks like that was just a glitch - some blockage in AAVSO's pipeline just while the brightest magnitude readings had been posted for ages were at the top of the list. Overnight postings eventually went back to the norm of around 10 mag (Vis). Which is what you expect, but in this case we're poised for a rapid rise cataclysmic eruption.

Oh well, I got one bit of necessary stuff built into my worksheets. Now need the reverse function.
