[vsnet-alert 4119] Re: RX J0459.7+1926 in outburst

[Gianluca Masi <gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it>]

Dear Colleagues,
we started a CCD run on this star right now. The sky seems good, even with some
probability to have fog in the incoming hours.

We wanted to confirm the outburst: the star is around mag 15 on Feb. 05 at 18.45 UT.

Regards,
Gianluca and Alessia
