V445 Pup (Kanatsu Object) short-term variation Dear Colleagues, Several observers in Japan independently recorded short-term variability of the object (several tenths of magnitude less than 1 hour). Frequent (several per hour?) or continuous CCD observations are strongly urged, since this may be a continuation of the variability reported earlier (communicated by S. Otero, in vsnet-alert). Regards, VSNET Collaboration team PS. The above Japanese observation refer to "tonight" (Jan. 30 UT).
