[vsnet-alert 3296] (fwd) HT Cas in bright outburst

Subject: [vsnet-alert 0] HT Cas in bright outburst

HT Cas observations at 22:25UT on July 27th show the system
at about V=13.2mag (CCD + V filter). This is compared to 
the maximum of V=13.2 observed in the normal outburst of
1996 (Ioannou et al. Astro-ph: 9907144). 
The system seems to be on the decline phase of the outburst
with the eclipse at 23:15UT being about 2 mags(V) deep and
about 10 mins in duration.

It looks like that HT Cas underwent a really bright outburst, 
but not quite reaching the superoutburst region of about V=11mag.

Best regards,
Zach
