QY Per rapid fading + light curve

Dear Colleagues,

    QY Per is defintely rapidly fading from superoutburst.  New data are
from Tonny Vanmunster, Lasse Teist Jensen and the Kyoto team.  The combined
light curve, together with an enlarged early stage curve, are presented at

    http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/DNe/qyper.html

    We have been observing QY Per for about 2 hours tonight.  The quick look
image confirms the further fading.  We recommened all observers to take
at least snapshots for a week in serach of possible rebrightening(s).
When anything unusual from the declining trend occurs, please notify to all
via this network.

    We thank to all collaborators for contribution of observations, leading
to such an impressive work!  Our first result appeared today in IAUC 7343.

Best regards,
Taichi Kato,
On behalf of the VSNET QY Per collaboration team
