====================================================================
* Class: 1 = primary target, 2 = secondary target, 3 = optional target
* Data: data request, 1 = VSNET core team, data will be received by
campaign report list. 2 = as above, in collaboration with
Hachisu-san.
(1) RX Vol: brightening at the terminal(?) phase of the superoutburst
plateau has been recorded. Possibly experiencing the rapid decline
phase now, and expected to show post-superoutburst rebrightening(s)
within 1-2 weeks. Please keep watching!
(2) OU Vir: still bright. Moonlight interference, but deserves if
observation is feasible.
(3) TV Crv: superoutburst, more data are needed.
(4) MV Lyr: brightest in the recent decade(s). Would be a good target
for northern telescopes on these bright nights.
(5) CH Her: bright outburst, Gary Poyner suggested that it may be a
superoutburst.
Continued optional target (of potential opportunity): IY UMa
Please closely watch vsnet-alert and vsnet-outburst for other new
outbursts.

This list is "read-only", i.e. it is used only for announcement of
the target lists. Other information, as well as reports and discussions
on particular targets, should be directed to the appropriate VSNET campaign
sub-lists (e.g. vsnet-campaign-dn for dwarf novae).
We have also set up a separate list for "privately" receiving
campaign observations. Nightly time-series observations, which have been
report to me, Ishioka-san or Uemura-san, should be now directed to
---------------------------------------------------
vsnet-campaign-report@ooruri.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp

Reports sent to this address will be delivered to the VSNET campaign
local staffs, including Ishioka-san, Uemura-san and me, and are expected
to be more convenient than personal e-mails to separate addresses.
