In ATel #12488 we did not explicitly state the time period of the reported dimming episode.
Field containing WR96 was observed by ASAS-SN after a seasonal gap on UT 2019-02-03.38,
with a non-detection at g<15.5. We also do not detect WR96 on UT 2019-02-09.37 at fainter upper limit of g<16.5. Before the seasonal gap, the last observation at UT 2018-10-26.00 shows WR96 at g~14.6.
WR96 has likely faded during the seasonal gap, but we are unable to provide an
exact start time for this dimming episode.
