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

TmzV46  991002.099  170:C  Scp    (sequence: USNO-A2.0)
TmzV46  991004.114  126C   Scp    (sequence: GSC)
 
The rapid brightening seems to confirm the suspected CV nature of this 
variable.

USNO-A2.0 coordinates: 152613.999 +081804.64 (2000.0) 17.4 17.0

  Kesao Takamizawa (Nagano, Japan) discovered a new variable star (TmzV46).

  TmzV46 = USNO0975.07935332 152613.992 +081803.82 (2000.0) 17.5 17.5
           (Takamizawa's semi-accurate estimate: 152614.1 +081801)
           Takamizawa reports the star is visible at mag ~18 on Real-Sky
           CD-ROM.  He suggests the possible Mira classification.
           The USNO color is more neutral (rather than red); variable of
           other type (e.g. UG-type) can not be excluded.  Observations
           during the present bright state would reveal the object's nature.
