   Though Henden's forthcoming photometry will provide sufficient color
information, this star is the bluest (in USNO color) of this field.

   Great!  But, when were these TWO outburst dates?  We have too much
confusing information on CV Aqr, and it seems difficult to extract the
true "two" among many candidates.

   I once read somewhere some observer reported this (*1) star as an
outburst of CV Aqr; on the observer's chart the star (*1) was unfortunately
missing.

   I remember there was at least one more definite outburst record of
TU Leo, other than the discovery (Glasby had additional ...).  This similar
report apparently needs to be worked out.
