IP Peg [UG, 12.0B - 16.6B]
==========================

This object has been detected in outburst by several observers. We
received independent reports from L. Szentasko (Hungary), T. Vanmunster
(Belgium) and J. Pietz (Germany). Additional confirmative observations
were communicated by E. Broens (Belgium) and A. Diepvens (Belgium) :

1995 12 08.776 UT, [13.8  (G. Poyner, 0.40-m refl., seq: TA);
     12 10.747 UT, [13.8  (G. Poyner);
     12 13.818 UT, [13.9  (E. Broens, 0.35-m refl., seq: VSOLJ);
     12 15.701 UT   12.8  (L. Szentasko, 0.33-m refl.);
     12 15.717 UT,  12.5  (T. Vanmunster, 0.35-m refl., seq: TA);
     12 15.735 UT,  12.6  (E. Broens);
     12 15.739 UT,  12.3  (A. Diepvens, 0.15-m refr., seq: AAVSO);
     12 15.770 UT,  12.5  (J. Pietz, 0.40-m refl.);

IP Peg was last seen in outburst on September 6, 1995 by J. Pietz
(CVC 56), when it became as bright as mag. 12.0.

Bill Worraker, Didcot, UK is heading an international observing project
on IP Peg (a TA/BAAVSS initiative), to study the eclipse behaviour of this 
dwarf nova. Observers are strongly encouraged to send their eclipse timings 
(with full details on sequence and comparison stars) to Bill Worraker 
(bill.worraker@aea.orgn.uk).


FS Aur [UGZ:, 14.4v - 16.2v]
============================

Eric Broens, Mol, Belgium reports his outburst detection of this CVAP
object. Confirmation came from Tonny Vanmunster, Landen, Belgium. We
have following observations available :

1995 12 10.465 UT,  15.9 (M. Iida, 20-cm refl.+CCD, unfiltered);
     12 10.469 UT,  15.4 (M. Iida);
     12 10.805 UT, [14.7 (G. Poyner, 0.40-m refl.);
     12 14.487 UT,  15.8 (M. Iida);
     12 15.917 UT,  14.8 (E. Broens, 0.35-m refl., seq: VSOLJ);
     12 16.090 UT,  14.4 (T. Vanmunster, 0.35-m refl., seq: VSOLJ);

According to our records, the object was last seen in outburst (i.e.
brighter than mag 15) on 1995 January 26, when it reached mag. 14.9
(CVC 27).


KV And [UGSU, 14.6p - 22.5p]
============================

In response to CVC 73, which announced the KV And outburst, Lasse Jensen,
Farum, Denmark remarks : "The AAVSO chart (11/94) for KV And marks the star 
at a wrong position, although a note on the chart says that the position
is improved compared to Downes & Shara. Checking it with Downes & Shara,
it seems that the position is identical. The GSC-based chart made by Paul
Van Cauteren (Belgian Astronomical Society VVS) has KV And at the correct
position (at least where I observed the variable)."

V493 Lyr [UG, 13.2 - 18.0p]
===========================

As noted by Tonny Vanmunster, Belgium in a VSNET message on November 27,
1995, this variable showed brightness variations of nearly 0.5 magnitudes
in narrow time intervals, during its present outburst. The event has been
recorded several times. We refer to the Cataclysmic Variables Home Page
for a light curve showing the observed phenomenon.

It would of course be extremely interesting to monitor V493 Lyr in very close 
detail (several observations a night by different observers) during a next 
(super)outburst, in order to determine if the observed behaviour is true. 

The photometric summary below lists all observations covering the present
outburst of V493 Lyr. The corresponding light curve, and the one of the
August 1994 outburst, are shown in the Cataclysmic Variables Home Page.

HT Cas [UGSU, 10.8v - 18.4v]
============================

The famous November 1995 outburst of HT Cas now is definitely over.
We present a final photometric summary below, covering observations 
till the end of November. A light curve, showing the full outburst
of HT Cas, is presented in the Cataclysmic Variables Home Page.

DV Dra [UGWZ?, 15.0B - <21p]
============================

The (very) faint outburst of DV Dra, which first was announced in CVC 67 
and later followed-up in CVC 69, has been further commented by Taichi Kato 
and the Ouda team members of Kyoto University, Japan : "A 6-min V-band CCD 
exposure of DV Dra taken at Ouda Station on November 25, 1995, clearly shows 
DV Dra significantly brighter than in Downes & Shara (1993).  Astrometry using 
6 GSC stars (mean residual 0".3) gives a position of R.A.=18h17m24s.44 and
Decl.= +50d48'16".6 (J2000.0).  This position is slightly different from that 
given in Downes & Shara (1993), but is in good agreement with one (R.A. =
18h17m24s.44 , Decl.=+50d48'16".3) obtained by M. Iida from his outburst
CCD image (Iida, private communication).  Reanalysis of the Nov. 13 CCD image 
confirms this finding.
When adopting the POSS magnitude (<21), the present data seem to show that
the outburst may be still on its slow decline, or that the object may be in
"high-state" quiescence.  Reexamination of POSS and the candidate by Downes &
Shara (1993) in digitized GSC survey plate would help identifying the nature
of this intriguing outburst."

The photometric summary, listed in CVC 69, thus becomes :
