[vsnet-alert 6516] WZ Sge: second superoutburst finally? or another rebrightening?

WZ Sge: second superoutburst finally? or another rebrightening?

   The most recent observations indicate WZ Sge almost retains its maxium
magnitude at its fifth rebrightening (the fading from the fifth rebrightening
seems to have been quite slow).  Or the star may have undergone a quick
rebrightening during a very brief gap of observation (?).  This may be
an indication of the start of the long-awaited second superoutburst, or
something unexpected/unexperienced.

    Please keep the vigil as much as you can!
