Re: QZ Ser outburst!!

  ====================================================================
           Rare, bright outburst of QZ Ser = HadV04
  ====================================================================

   Patrick Schmeer (Germany) reports the detection of the second historical
outburst of the dwarf nova QZ Ser = HadV04.  The present outburst is the
brightest recorded outburst in the history.  The object was originally
discovered by Katsumi Haseda (Aichi, Japan) as a possible dwarf nova.
No further bright outburst has been observed except Haseda's original
discovery photograph.  This lack of outbursts have made exact classification
of the object difficult, and the true nature of the object is still
a mystery.  QZ Ser may be a dwarf nova resembling WZ Sge, HV Vir, and
other similar objects with very rare outbursts.

   Please try all with your efforts!  The object is most likely an SU UMa
star in superoutburst, and must be superhumping!  Please join the VSNET
Collaboration team in order to reveal the long-standing mystery of this
object!  Try to take as many CCD exposures (exposure time 30s or so)
from the object's rise until dawn.  Good luck with your observations!
