[Fraser Farrell <fraserf@dove.net.au>]

G'day all,

WX Hydri is in outburst (superoutburst?) tonight, February 10 UT:

10:19       11.8           Tz
12:56       11.5           Fm

Also, the novalike variable IX Velorum has brightened.  Normal mag has
been 9.4-9.8 for awhile.

Fm -  Fraser Farrell
Tz -  Justin Tilbrook

Justin also reports that his new observatory is undamaged after a nearby
mag 5.6 earthquake last Wednesday afternoon.  However, aftershocks made
it difficult to observe (or sleep) that night!


cheers,
