[vsnet-campaign 89] CP Dra outburst

CP Dra outburst

   As reported by Tonny Vanumunster, the poorly studied (and poorly monitored
recently) dwarf nova, CP Dra is in outburst.

   YYYYMMDD(UT)   mag  observer
   20000515.883  153C  (T. Vanmunster)

   The object was originally discovered as a possible supernova in NGC 3147.
If the object is still bright, the outburst has a chance to be a
superoutburst.  Observers with available time longer than a few hours
might take a time-series to test the possibility.  According to the
literature record, outbursts are relatively rare.  The should deserve
more attention, both from visual and CCD observers.
