[vsnet-campaign 468] AO Oct rare outburst

AO Oct rare outburst

   The large-amplitude dwarf nova AO Oct is undergoing a rare outburst
as reported by Rod Stubbings.  The last reported outburst occurred in
1999 June (mv=14.5, Stubbings).

   2000 Aug. 31.478  <14.6
        Sep.  2.397   14.4

   The large amplitude (the object is reported to be mag 21 at minimum)
suggests an SU UMa-type dwarf nova, which may undergo a superoutburst.
Time-resolved photometry is very strongly encouraged.  The object is
selected as one of top priority targets of VSNET campaign.  Please
report your forthcoming observations to vsnet-campaign lists!
