[vsnet-alert 4101] Outburst of HW Tau?

[cpj@cix.compulink.co.uk (Christopher Jones)]

I've just made the following positive observation of HW Tau

TAUHW           000202.9049        14.6     JCN     VSNET

Can anybody confirm this is an outburst of this object?

I'm slightly concerned by the facts that:-
The identity on both the TA and VSNET charts is marked as 'uncertain';
The VSNET chart shows the variable as a star of magnitude 14.68;  
And this is only the third time I've seen this field (!).
