[AZ-Observing] Trapezium Eclipsing Variable Star Light Curve

At the last SAC meeting, Paul Dickson informed us of a favorable minimum of the 
eclipsing bnary star Theta 1 Orionis A in the Trapezium in the Orion Nebula.  
Mid-eclipse occurs just after midnight on December 2, when the star will be 
magnitude 7.7.

I wondered where I could find a good light curve that would describe how 
rapidly it fades and brightens.  I came up empty when I tried the AAVSO light 
curve generator, and Googling for images was equally fruitless.
