V745 Sco in quiescence. The only long-term information on V745 Sco comes from my R-band CCD magnitudes from Cerro Tololo, covering 2004–2008 (with observations on-going). We see that the RN varies on all time scales from weeks to months to years, and recall from Figure  56 that it also varies on time scales of minutes and hours and days. The range of variations is from 14.1 to 16.5, almost a factor of 10 in luminosity. In comparing this figure with the two panels of Figure  56, I am impressed by the similarity in the light curve shapes with greatly different scales.
