[vsnet-alert 804] confirmation needed of possible outburst of OY Car

["Christopher W. Mauche" <mauche@cygnus.llnl.gov>]

I am looking for confirmation of the AAVSO report (AAVSO News Flash
#132)
that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova OY Car (RA=10:06:22.3, DEC=-70:14:05.0, 
epoch 2000) is in outburst (V<12). If the outburst is confirmed, an EUVE
Target of Opportunity observation will begin as early as DOY 85 22 UT
(in
less than 24 hrs). Please send visual magnitude estimates to the address
below asap. If the source is in outburst, regular monitoring throughout 
the outburst would be of great value.

Regards,
