Abstract:

We have continued monitoring the blazar OJ287 in the optical at several sites after its November/December, 2015 outburst. After a further large outburst that started in the beginning of February, 2016 (Atels #8667, #8697, #8705) OJ287 remained brighter than 14th magnitude [in R] for the rest of the month.
