AK Cnc? Possibly new object? outburst Following the report of the outburst of AK Cnc by R. Stubbings in [vsnet-outburst 5251], we, the Kyoto team, started observation of AK Cnc at Feb. 23, 14:20 (UT). We have then found an outbursting object, but the position is not that of AK Cnc. See the following gif image. http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/DNe/AK_Cnc/akcnctmp.gif The object is about 13.5mag, but is the marked object AK Cnc? Confirmation is urgently needed. There is 19th mag USNO stars near the object It may be a new eruptive object. Regards, Makoto Uemura, Ryoko Ishioka
