No. This request originates from AAVSO HQ.

What a shame! Not too many observations made so far. C’mon, people! This seems very interesting. I’m kind of frustrated because the weather has been awful in Mexico City, and has prevented me of observing, but if I was able to do some, I will definitely tackle this object immediately.
