AW Sge rare outburst, updated info

  As reported, the suspected SU UMa-type dwarf nova AW Sge is reported
to be in outburst.  The last reported (to VSNET) outburst occurred in
1996 August (magnitude 15.0, Pietz), which was confirmed by the observation
of the Kyoto team.  The 1996 outburst faded rapidly, suggesting that it
was a normal outburst of an SU UMa-type star.

  The VSNET Collaboration started a campaign.  Please watch future messages
in vsnet-campaign-dn or vsnet-campaign.
