V729 Sgr outburst

    Rod Stubbings reports that V729 Sgr is undergoing an outburst.  This
is the first visual outburst detection of an outburst reported to VSNET.
The brightness surpasses the cataloged range.  Little is known about the
nature of V729 Sgr other than the CV classification.  Although the outburst
amplitude looks too small for an SU UMa-type star, further observations
would be interesting.
