EG Cnc [NL/UG:, 11.9v - 17:v]
=============================

We have been informed by Patrick Schmeer, Germany about an outburst
of EG Cnc. This most interesting object, called Huruhata's Variable,
has been seen only once before (in November 1977). A confirmative
visual observation has been made by Tonny Vanmunster, Belgium.
Here are some details :

1996 Nov. 30.917 UT,  12.5  (P. Schmeer, 0.20-m SCT, Seq: GSC);
     Nov. 30.951 UT,  12.0  (P. Schmeer);
     Nov. 30.989 UT,  11.8  (P. Schmeer);
     Dec. 01.021 UT,  12.1  (T. Vanmunster, 0.35-m refl., seq: GSC);

Given the long recurrence time of this object, it is most likely
that this a UGWZ-type dwarf nova. Therefor, follow-up observations
at each stage of the light curve are of utmost importance. Time
series CCD photometry is highly encouraged.
