Imperfect being that I am, I admit to having reported erroneous observations
of outbursts in the past. Some notable gaffs were V725 Aql (more than
once!), V592 Her and EG Cnc.
The problems with V592 Her and V725 Aql have been resolved in my mind by
making better charts that show fainter stars that I may have been glimpsing
and mis-identifying as the variable. EG Cnc may have been an asteroid.
However, I have also reported observations that seem to be precursors to a
later verified report of an outburst. The last outburst of V402 And was
reported by me some days before Chris Jones/Gary Poyner verified the event,
and most recently I made an observation of TW Vir a couple days before
everyone else agreed it was in outburst.
I wouldn't give up on V589 Her just yet. I am pretty sure of what I saw. I
stand by my observation unabashedly.
If nothing else, this may prove my precognitive powers are sharper than my
observing skills.
