[vsnet-alert 405] AK Cnc



Dear all,

Following an alert from Bill Worraker that AK Cnc was in outburst I have
this evening obtained a V-Band CCD frame using my 0.30m Newtonian and an
SX CCD. The outburst is confirmed.

The position for this variable is incorrect in Downes and Shara.
I obtain the following J2000 position using 12 GSC stars of mean residual
0".24 in RA and 0".22 in Dec:

08h 55m 21s.20 +11d 18' 14".7 [J2000].

The V magnitude at 1996 May 06.89 was 0.05 fainter than GSC 814.00128. This
star is listed as star E, magnitude 13.7 on the TA C chart. The position of
the variable is correct on the TA chart.

Regards Nick James.
