EI UMa fading! As reported by Mike Simosen in [vsnet-nl 193], the cataclysmic variable EI UMa = PG 0834+488 becomes very faint! This observation may suggest that EI UMa belongs to VY Scl-type objects. EI UMa has been rather variable in the VSNET record, but such a deep fading was not observed. Further detailed observations are strongly encouraged.
