Bright outburst of CR Boo

   Gene Hanson reports CR Boo, the helium dwarf nova, is undergoing a bright
outburst.

  YYMMDD(UT)   mag  observer
  971227.533   145: (G. Hanson)
  971227.838  16.25V  (Ouda team)
  971228.540  <154  (G. Hanson)
  971228.855  16.44V  (Ouda team)

  971231.812  16.05V  (Ouda team)
  980102.506   136  (G. Hanson)

   CCD observation at Ouda Station has just confirmed the outburst.
The object, however, looks significantly fainter than V=14.  Time-resolved
CCD photometry is now being undertaken.

   It may be likely the brightness of the object is varying with a time
scale less than a day.  Observers are strongly urged to monitor the object
frequently.
