Dear colleagues, I just obtained a CCD image of V452 Cas (1999, Nov 9.7917 UT), confirming the outburst reported by P. Schmeer. The image was acquired with an ST-7 CCD (unfiltered) and 0.35-m telescope at CBA Belgium Observatory. Further details : 1999 Nov 9.7917 UT, mag 15.8 C (using the mag 15.82 comp star from VSNET chart). I'm attempting CCD photometry on the object right now, but chances are high I'll have to stop soon due to upcoming clouds. As far as I can derive from my archives, no CCD photometry has ever been done on this object - the true CV nature thus is to be established. Best regards, Tonny Vanmunster CBA Belgium Observatory
