V550 Cyg outburst

   As reported by Timo Kunninen, the poorly studied dwarf nova V550 Cyg
is undergoing an outburst.

  YYYYMMDD(UT)   mag  observer
  20000817.860   153: (T. Kinnunen)
  20000819.870   148  (T. Kinnunen)
  20000819.912   148  (T. Kinnunen)

   This is the first reported outburst to VSNET.  Although past observations
were rather sparse, this may suggest a rare outburst.

   We propose this star as the potential VSNET campaign target.  Time-resolved
photometry, astrometry and other observations are strongly encouraged.
