Having picked up V1413 Aql last evening for the first time this observing season
and using the latest AAVSO sequence, I would like to ask if others find this
sequence less than good visually. Actually, I felt it was exceedingly poor. The
126 and particularly the 128 seem almost as bright as the 123, while the 129 is
dramatically fainter than either, yet very close to the 131.

Thus, any estimated magnitudes of V1413 would seem to me highly dependent of
just what combination of comp stars are chosen, with widely differing final
magnitudes. This is particularly troublesome given that V1413 has a close
companion potentially influencing estimates and also that the star seems to be
entering a new active phase. Other's opinions?
