  Past information:

  [vsnet-campaugn 388]

  Relatively rare outburst.  The last outburst occurred in 2000 March.
The 1999 December outburst looks like a superoutburst; time-resolved
photometry during long, bright outburst is encouraged.  Possible VSNET
campaign target star.

  [vsnet-campaugn 391]

  Further brightening has been observed, reaching the brightest level in 
the past.  The object is at mag 18 in quiescence, so the present outburst
has a chance of a superoutburst (or a large-amplitude SS Cyg star).
Time-resolved photometry is strongly needed to clarify its nature.
