Dear Colleagues,
AK Cnc May 05.920 UT mv=13.3 W. Worraker (Didcot, UK 26cm)
Best regards,

Dear all,
Following an alert from Bill Worraker that AK Cnc was in outburst I have this evening obtained a V-Band CCD frame using my 0.30m Newtonian and an SX CCD. The outburst is confirmed.
The position for this variable is incorrect in Downes and Shara. I obtain the following J2000 position using 12 GSC stars of mean residual 0".24 in RA and 0".22 in Dec:
08h 55m 21s.20 +11d 18' 14".7 [J2000].
The V magnitude at 1996 May 06.89 was 0.05 fainter than GSC 814.00128. This star is listed as star E, magnitude 13.7 on the TA C chart. The position of the variable is correct on the TA chart.
Regards Nick James.
