HadV89 : new eruptive variable or a possible nova?

   Katsumi Haseda (Aichi, Japan) reports the discovery of a new variable
star.  The star is bright now.  No IRAS counterpart is found.  No apparent
red star nor bright star is found on DSS.  The star may be some sort
of an eruptive variable, or even a nova.  Follow-up observations, including
astrometry, multicolor photometry and spectroscopy are strongly encouraged.

   Please report your observations to VSNET!

HadV89 = 181526.7 -185708 (J2000.0)  semi-accurate astrometry by Haseda.

   We have been undertaking on photometric campaigns on several super-
outbursting dwarf novae and peculiar variable stars.  News and call for
observations on these objects will be issued on our regular weekly
"News from VSNET" bulletins.  Those who immediately need information
should make an access to the VSNET website, and click on VSNET campaign
list.

  VSNET (Variable Star Network) is an international variable star observing
network, covering various areas of novae, supernovae, cataclysmic variables
(CVs), X-ray transients, and other classical eruptive, pulsating, and
eclipsing variables.  VSNET is one of invited contributing organizations
to the SkyPub AstroAlert system.

CCD observations of such targets are a relatively easy task for a 20-40cm
telescope; simply take as many CCD frames (with exposure times 10-30 sec)
as possible, spanning several hours per night.  The only requirements are
the weather and your patience!  If you need more help on the observing
technique, please feel free to ask on the vsnet-campaign list.

   We would sincerely appreciate volunteers who would join the VSNET
Collaboration team to study the wonders of these exotic variable stars.
