This star appears to be at/near maximum. Would someone who knows tell me how long during its roughly 360 day cycle, one might expect to see SS above magnitude 7.

Hi Otto. According to the AAVSO light curve, it would seem to be mag 7 & above for about 2 months of its cycle.
Cheers -
Rob

Thank you for that information.
Where does one go on the AAVSO website to get light curves?

I observed SS Vir on 11 April, and estimated its brightness at magnitude +7.9. I would be interested to see how bright it does go...clear tonight according to the forecasts, so I'll be concentrating on Virgo.
