[vsnet-alert 1171] USNO 1425.09823278

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

  According to IAUC No. 6731,  J.-y. Hu (Beijing Astronomical Observatory)
et al. reports the discovery of a new apparent bright dwarf nova.

     USNO 1425.09823278

     19h 27m 11s.63 (J2000.0)
     +54o 17' 51".5
           UG
        13.3-19.8R

   R=13.3 on Aug. 31 and 13.5 on Aug. 31.  Spectroscopically confirmed
to be an outbursting dwarf nova.

  Being a large outburst-amplitude object, the variable should be an
excellent target for searching for superhumps.  Observations are very urgently
encouraged.  The object is close to galaxy UGC 11443, which may have provided
a chance discovery of this dwarf nova during the supernova survey.
