[vsnet-alert 3086] Rare outburst of V1195 Oph

[Patrick Schmeer <extpasc@rz.uni-sb.de>]

V1195 OPHIUCHI  (UG)

This (probable) dwarf nova is currently in outburst:
990526.340  <185C   Scp
990606.310   164:C  Scp
990607.307   165:C  Scp

The only previously observed maxima occurred on 1956 June 12 (mpg= 16.2)
and 1959 April 29 (mpg= 15.8).

I have obtained the following astrometry:
R.A. 17h00m21.63s  Decl. -20o53'34.8"  (J2000.0)  (reference: GSC stars)
On the finding chart (POSS) in Duerbeck's nova catalogue V1195 Oph is 
visible at quiescence; it is the star WSW of the marked star.
Duerbeck's candidate is identical with the following star from the USNO-A2.0
catalogue: R.A. 17h00m22.363s  Decl. -20o53'31.17" (r= 18.0, b= 18.9) 

Regards,
Patrick
