EF Peg outburst

    As reported by E. Muyllaert in [vsnet-alert 6734], the SU UMa-type
dwarf nova EF Peg is now in outburst (11.1mag).  The outburst was 
confirmed by M. Reszelski in [vsnet-alert 6735] (10.7mag).  The last 
outburst was reported on 1997 January (IAUC 6767).

    EF Peg is a strange SU UMa-type star in the point of its long 
cycle of superoutburst (about 4.8yr in this case) with a long orbital 
period of near 2 hours, the edge of the "period gap" of CVs.  

    Follow-up observations are encouraged.  

Regards,
Makoto Uemura

PS. but the late superhumps of WZ Sge should still be monitored, so it may be 
  difficult to make the tonight observation schedule :-) .
  We encourage to use [vsnet-campaidn-dn] list for announcement of your 
  observations schedule.
