Re: S10828 (AS Psc) S10828 was discovered by Richter from the Tautenberg plates taken on 1963 Sep. 14 and 17. The second outburst was observed during 1980 Aug. 8-14. The object seems to have been first considered to be a reccurent nova in M33. Richter notes the strong UV-excess during the outburst. Another outburst was observed in 1984. 2445964.311 16.73 5965.284 18.3 5966.444 <18.9 5968.333 <18.9 Further outburst ob 1986 Dec. 5 (JD 46770.361) at B=19.1. AS Psc is now regarded as a galactic dwarf nova having a long outburst interval (Sov. Astron. Lett. 13(3), 1987). I believe there was a positive photographic detection in the VSOLJ database -- will check from now. The VSNET chart is available, approximating the V-magnitudes: * observer: D. Nogami (Ouda Station, Kyoto University) * calibration: GSPC P295-A 012810 +311457 2000 AS Psc UG 16.6-21.5P?
