Var61 Her fading Dear Colleagues, From our CCD photometry on Nov. 1 and 2, Var61 Her showed a decline of 0.36 mag in 0.96 d. The fading trend has been confirmed using the ongoing observation tonight. This fading rate and the preliminary analysis of time-series seem to suggest that Var61 Her is a long-period SS Cyg-type dwarf nova with a relatively large outburst amplitude, like V1060 Cyg. Though intensive time-series coverage may be less important, follow-up observation of the present rare outburst is still encouraged. Regards, Taichi Kato and Makoto Uemura
