RX J2315.5-3049 outburst fading

  The first-ever outburst (detection by Rod Stubbings) of a possible
WZ Sge-type dwarf nova (see vsnet-alert 5091, Augusteijn et al.) has
apparently faded as reported by Berto Monard.  This behavior more suggests
a normal outburst.  However, follow-up observations are strongly encouraged,
since some short-period SU UMa-type systems may undergo another brightening
to a superoutburst.
