[Taichi Kato <tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

   The recently discovered SU UMa-type dwarf nova, V844 Her = Var43 Her
is undergoing a superoutburst as indicatied by the following observations.
(Most magnitudes based on Antipin's photographic sequence; the true
V-magnitude may be brighter by ~0.5 to 1.0 mag.)

  YYMMDD(UT)   mag  code
  970519.964  <149  POY
  970520.340  <153  MRV
  970521.319   131  MRV
  970522.367   132  MRV
  970522.930   135  KNN
  970523.137   131  MRV
  970523.364   134  MRV

   The object was last reported to be in outburst in 1996 Oct., when
Tonny Vanmunster detected superhumps, finally enabling an unambiguous
classification of this object (cf. vsnet-obs 4075,
