======================================================================
* 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) V699 Oph: newly identified SU UMa star in superoutburst (following a
precursor normal outburst). Top-priority target, esp. for the north.
Due to two very competing targets (V699 Oph and NSV 09923, we have to
lower the priorities of KK Tel, RX Cha and V1141 Aql -- try on them
if your have a second telescope!).
(2) NSV 09923: newly identified SU UMa star (now in superoutburst), selected
from ROSAT identification and outburst detected by Rod Stubbings.
Superhumps (Psh about 0.08235 d) are clearly detected.
Best position 17:59:16.53 -42:35:07.3 (J2000.0).

(3) KK Tel: superoutburst. Fresh superhumps recorded by Tom Richards.
(4) RX Cha: superoutburst. Detection of superhumps is desired.
Circumpolar object -- not observed well on this occasion, we would better
wait for a next superoutburst in the presence of other priority targets.
(5) V1141 Aql: likely superoutburst of a short-Psh SU UMa-type dwarf nova.
Decent coverage from different longitudes. Please watch the period change!
(6) V803 Cen: definite superoutburst, now entered a new stage of
damping oscillation to a more stable(?) plateau phase.
The present variation very much resembles that of "oscillatory"
rebrightening stage of the 2001 superoutburst of WZ Sge (see abobe URL).

(7) IM Nor: eclipsing recurrent nova. Data requested by Hachisu-san.

Objects recently dropped from the list: V699 Oph (likely normal outburst,
observe if it brightens again), VY Scl, V504 Cen, MV Lyr (continuous targets,
lower priority now), V1494 Aql (lower priority now), GO Com (faded).
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).
Nightly time-series observations should be now directed to (rather than
private e-mails):
---------------------------------------------------
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.
