It has been suggested by Taichi Kato and Katsura Matsumoto [vsnet-alert 2670] that the current outbursting star is not identical to the Duerbeck counterpart. My CCD data from 990223 indicate that there is a fainter (16mag) star hidden in the wings of the outbursting star, located about 2arcsec west of that star. This would support Kato/Matsumoto's idea. Likewise, Patrick Schmeer noted that the outburst amplitude is smaller than normal DN. Again, if the USNO-A star is either not the counterpart, or is a blended image with the counterpart, then the amplitude will be compromised by the additional flux from the companion. This is similar to V446 Her and UW Per. CG CMa is on the observing list for my March run. Arne
