U Sco is a recurrent nova whose long-predicted eruption started on 2010 Jan 28.4385 UT (IAUC #9111), peaked brighter than V=7.8, faded with the fastest rate of all known novae until Feb 9 whereupon the light curve leveled off in a plateau at V=14.0. The optical light curve in 2010 is closely following those of all nine previous eruptions (Schaefer 2010, ApJSupp, in press, arXiv:0912.4426). Flickering in the light curve was first reported on Feb 5.174 (IAUC #9114).
