======================================================================
* 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) V589 Her: reported to be an SU UMa-type star, which needs to be confirmed
by secure superhump detection. Magnitude 14.5, and the object is
favorbly located.
(2) PU CMa: superoutburst. Great if you can manage to get a 2hr run
each night. We probably need multi-longitude coverage.
(3) MM Sco: outburst, mag around 14.0. If it is in superoutburst,
we will have a good chance to determine the period derivative.
(4) IM Nor: probably eclipsing recurrent nova. Cover a few orbital cycles
(once or twice in a week, during the dark runs).
Berto Monard reported that it has faded to mag 17.0. Observations with
a large telescope are highly wanted at this stage!!

Objects newly dropped from the list: TV Crv, RX Vol, V660 Her, SX LMi
(still look for a rebrightening).
Please closely watch vsnet-alert and vsnet-outburst for other new
outbursts.

*** Notice ***
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.
