MV Lyr : Brightening from the faint state in the last yaer

M. Simonsen's observation on March 28 shows the nova-like variable MV Lyr recovered (14.4mag) from the last faint state (vsnet-campaign-nl 10). The object however again faded in the end of April (vsnet-campaign-nl 17). The magnitude then reached very faint one. G. Poyner reported it is at about 16.5mag on May 12 (vsnet-campaign-nl 21). On September 4, it experienced an outburst reaching 14.1mag (vsnet-campaign-nl 27). This bright state continued at around 13.8mag, and then, the object further brightened to 13.0mag in the end of Septemver and 12.8mag in the mid-October (vsnet-campaign-nl 42, 45). It seems to be a peak of this bright state, and the object began gradually fading (vsnet-campaign-nl 50, 54).
