[vsnet-alert 1333] Bright outburst of new CV in Peg

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

   According to IAUC No. 6772, the new cataclysmic variable in Peg (reported
in IAUC 6746) is again reported to be in outburst.  The Beijing Astronomical
Observatory supernova survey team reports the object at R=15.0 on Nov. 14.44.

   A search for superhumps during the current bright outburst is highly
encouraged (cf. the following vsnet-alert posting)

Regards,
Taichi Kato
