a) Long-term V-band photometry of HD 208472. The dashed line denotes the updated unspotted brightness level. The blue filled dots show data from Paper I, while the red dots denote the recent data. Plus signs show differential magnitudes in the sense of check-minus-comparison star. These measurements are shifted by a constant amount and plotted on a common scale with measurements of the variable star. b) Minimum brightness vs. V amplitude diagram. The straight line is a linear representation of the upper envelope of the scatter.
