EK TrA bright outburst

   The SU UMa-type dwarf nova EK TrA is undergoing a bright outburst
(relatively rare) as reported by Rod Stubbings.  The latest repored outburst
(normal outburst) occurred in 1999 Feb (mv=11.5, Stubbings).  The star
showed a well-defined superoutburst in 1997 July with a remarkable
precursor outburst (J. Hers and B. Monard).  More observations during
the present outburst are strongly encouraged.
