The figure below shows the last two years of visual and V band observations for the recurrent nova T Pyx:

The last 2 years of T Pyx observations (visual and V band)
Further to my posts earlier this year:
- Outburst of recurrent nova T Pyx
- T Pyx on the way back down
- T Pyx still rising (actually)
the current light curve shows that T Pyx has declined from its peak of around magnitude 6 to around magnitude 11, approximately 5 magnitudes in as many months:
