[vsnet-alert 3645] Rare outburst of Var62 And

["Tonny Vanmunster" <Tonny.Vanmunster@advalvas.be>]

Var62 And is in (rare ?) outburst, as indicated by the following CCD observations:

1999 Oct 31.987 UT  mag 16.9 C

Instrument : 35-cm f/6.3 SCT + ST-7 (unfiltered),
CBA Belgium Observatory

Var62 And is an UG-type variable, that was discovered by Sergei Antipin on Moscow plates. 
The object is mag 20.30 in the USNO (quiescence magnitude) and was at mag. 15.5 B during 
outburst on the Moscow plates. Var62 And is described in more detail (including finding
charts with comparison stars) in IBVS 4578. A VSNET chart is available as well. The object
is located at RA = 00h11m07.3s and Decl = +30d32'36" (J2000.0).

I have no indications on previous outburst observations of this variable, unless the
discovery images by Antipin. Follow-up observations are therefore highly requested.
Unfortunately, weather forecast for Belgium is bad for tonight.

I'd like to thank Sergei for drawing my attention to this interesting variable star.

Best regards,
