V2276 Sgr (rare?) outburst Rod Stubbings has reported that the dwarf nova V2276 Sgr is undergoing a outburst. The last reported outburst dates back to 1998, suggesting a low freqency of outbursts. Judging from the outburst amplitude (using the proposed quiescent candidate), the object may be a short-period system such as an SU UMa-type star. Close time-series CCD observations are very strongly encouraged. Please also send selected CCD images (FITS format) to Yamaoka-san (yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp) to make accurate outburst astrometry and quiescent identification. Good luck!
