KK Tel bright outburst

   The suspected SU UMa-type dwarf nova KK Tel is undergoing a bright
outburst.  The last long outburst of KK Tel was observed in 1999 March
)cf. vsnet-alert 2800, 2807).

   KK Tel has been suspected to be an SU UMa-type dwarf nova having a
suspected orbital period of 2.02 hours (Howell et al. 1991, PASP 103, 300).
A search for superhumps is strongly recommended.  The present outburst
will be put on the VSNET campaign object list.
