Dear Vsnet'ers, Following Patrick Schmeer's announcement that V589 Her is in outburst, Martin Mobberley (Bury St. Edmunds, UK) has secured an image clearly showing the star brighter than that shown in Downs & Shara (around 16.4) on October 2.802 using an unfiltered CCD on a 0.3-m LX200. The image can be seen on Martin's web page at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/MartinMobberley/ Martin has also obtained the following astrometry... 16h 22m 7.37 +19 22' 36.4" (2000) from 37 GSC stars Has anyone else managed to make any observations of this rare outburst? regards, Gary Poyner
