Just wondering what orbit was assumed for this boogie.
It is predicted to become brighter by over 4 magnitudes
in just 24 hours. At the same time the phase angle is

increase in just one day with almost unchanged phase angle
but then again why is it not getting much faster than a dozen
arcsec per minute?!
