[vsnet-obs 1845] "low" state of GO Com

[tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp]

   The observation at Ouda Station suggests that GO Com may be in its "low"
state.  On Jan. 1.822 UT, we obtained V=18.53 (based on Misselt 1995).  This
magnitude is by 1.5 mag fainter than one obtained last year, and looks
considerably fainter than in photographs shown in many dwarf nova atlases.
It would be interesting to see whether this excursion is similar to the
famous high/low transition of HT Cas, and how it is related to its
outburst activity (one may remember there was a peculiar succession of
outbursts last summer, cf. IBVS No. 4228).
