BZ UMa relatively rare outburst

   The SU UMa-candidate BZ UMa is undergoing a relatively rare outburst,
as reported by Pavol A. Dubovsky (vsnet-outburst 2126) at mv=10.8 on May
1.8681 and by Maciej Reszelski (vsnet-alert 5857) at mv=10.8 on May 1.891.

   The last outburst of BZ UMa occurred in 2000 May (normal outburst).
None of previously observed outbursts of BZ UMa showed clear characteristics
of a superoutburst, which is atypical for a dwarf nova below the period
gap.  Further follow-up observations, particularly time-resolved photometry,
are encouraged during the present outburst.
