(fwd) V503 Cyg activity

From: "Claia O. Bryja" <claia@atlascomm.net>
Since I found V503 Cyg roughly two magnitudes
brighter than usual and rising, I thought it was worth notifying
people in Asia in time for them to give it some priority.  I didn't
try to send an alert since V503 Cyg outbursts roughly once a month,
so it isn't rare.

I've never sent observations using this format before.  I'm using the
colon at the end of the magnitude to indicate that these were fairly
rough visual estimates.  The comparison stars were from K.A. Misselt's
PASP paper (which I also don't have handy right this minute-- it's
in another building, since I've quit observing for the night).

Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the 
appropriateness of sending these observations.

                                  Sincerely,

                                                Claia Bryja
