Where are we?

Due to the gaps in the light curve the current situation of RZ LMi is uncertain. On HJD 869.3 it was at 15.9 mag, barely visible on stack of ten or so exposures obtained by Marcin Wardak during misty night. On HJD 873.3, according to David Boyd, it was at 14.9 mag. Recent data of Kosmas Gazeas show that RZ LMi is at around 16.0 mag. Most probably we saw an ordinary outburst. Thus the ingress of the superoutburst might appear very soon.
