  The latest reported outburst occurred in 1998 November, during which
considerable light variation was reported by T. Kinnunen.  Time-resolved
CCD photometry is strongly urged to detect possible superhumps.

  The object is located at 18h 05m 46s.4, +31o 40' 18" (J2000).
The quiescent magnitude of Var61 Her is reported to be ~19 (USNO magnitude).
