Abstract: Comet C/2023 V1 (Lemmon) attenuated the brightness of the star TYC 4233-01337-1 on 2024 August 27. The predicted occultation by the nucleus was not detected but, instead this, we recorded a clear drop in the light curve compatible with the presence of a dense coma that would have dropped down the magnitude of the star by 0.1 mag.
