V660 Her likely superoutburst? Pavol A. Dubovsky reports that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova V660 Her is undergoing an outburst. The outburst seems to have been confirmed by Dan Taylor. The object underwent an outburst in this May, which turned out to be a short outburst. The present outburst looks like a superoutburst, as inferred from the supercycle length. The object is suitably situated in the northern sky, and we encourage CCD time-resolved observation! (Since there has been a discrepancy between the reported observations, please make a note if the outburst is not confirmed with CCD imaging). YYYYMMDD(UT) mag observer 20030720.915 <152 (Pavol A.
