RX Cha outburst

  The supposed SU UMa-type dwarf nova (reported superhump period 0.0839 d,
Kato et al. (2001) IBVS 5117) is undergoing an outburst.  The last outburst
(superoutburst?) was in 2002 April.  Although the present outburst may turn
out to be a normal outburst, the excellent seasonal visibility would make
RX Cha one of the most promising targets at this moment.  Please observe
as long as possible to check the presence of superhumps!
