OJ+287 a Blazar of special interest

OJ+287 is a blazar of special interest.
OJ287 Update
Variable star OJ287 is currently at it's brightest level since the March/April flare of 2006. The most recent observation comes from Jennie McCormick in New Zealand, who imaged OJ on March 23.339 UT at 14.83C. The rate of rise indicates that this could be another flare, but as we are expecting OJ287 to begin to rise to a late Summer outburst anytime now, close monitoring on every possible occasion would be appreciated. During this active phase, I will be making daily reports to Dr. Mark Kidger instead of the usual weekly ones.
Regards
