[vsnet-alert 3291] HT Cas apparently at supermaximum

[Patrick Schmeer <extpasc@rz.uni-sb.de>]

HT CASSIOPEIAE  (UGSU+E)
July 25.931 UT, [13.3 ; 26.087, [13.6 ; 26.925,  12.5:; 27.090,  12.7 ; 
     27.093 UT,  12.3 
Part of eclipse egress observed.
Some haze + clouds + full moon
The most recent superoutburst of HT Cas occurred in 1985 January,
when the star peaked at mv= 10.8 (cf. IAUC 4027). This magnitude 
estimate, however, may be too bright by about one magnitude if it
is based on the old AAVSO sequence.
High-speed photometry during the current outburst is (of course)
urgently required. 

Regards,
Patrick
