V745 Sco in 1989. Only V-band magnitudes (filled circles) and some useful limits (empty triangles) are known for this brief and faint event. The light curve displays a large amount of scatter, where light curves from separate observers have systematic offsets from each other. No CCD photometry is available, so it is difficult to know where the true light curve lies. The cause of this scatter is likely inconsistent comparison star sequences and color terms. The observing details are not known, so I cannot correct the reported magnitudes onto a consistent modern magnitude scale.
