BR Lup possible superoutburst

   As reported by Danie Overbeek in [vsnet-outburst 1555], the SU UMa-type
dwarf nova BR Lup is undergoing a bright outburst, apparently a superoutburst.
The last superoutburst of BR Lup was observed in 2000 Aug (mv=13.7,
Stubbings).  If the present brightness is confirmed, it would make the
brightest record in recent years.  Follow-up observations are encouraged.
