New dwarf nova in Cet

   IAUC No. 6763 tells the discovery of a new dwarf nova (presently in
outburst) by the Beijing Astronomical Observatory supernova survey team.

  00h 27m 27s.93  (J2000.0)
  -01o 08' 26".8
        UG
     14.5R-

  Reported magnitudes:
    Oct. 8    <18.5 R
        17.64  14.5
        21.67  14.9
        28.61  15.4
        29.64  15.6
        30.45  15.8

  The outbuurst amplitude and light curve strongly suggest the SU UMa-type
dwarf nova in superoutburst (possibly near its final decline).  Immediate
searches for superhumps would be fruitful.
