Description
During the OJ-94 campaign one monitored the blazar 3C 66A as a secondary target. Here the authors present the observed V-band light curve. This blazar was in outburst during the monitoring campaign, reaching V-magnitude 13.7. This is the brightest it has ever been observed. The light curve shows continuous activity in time scales from tens of minutes, to days and weeks.
