   As reported by D. Overbeek, the eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova OY Car
is in outburst.  The latest reported outbursts of OY Car occured in

during the rise) and 1998 June (normal outburst reaching mv=12.4, caught
by R. Stubbings).  Time-resolved observations of eclipses (and possible
humps) are strongly encouraged.
