CT HYA
------
On February 22.547 UT, 1995, M.Iida observed an outburst of
CT Hya (13.6 unfiltered CCD image). Mr. Kato subsequently
announced this might be the first ever detected outburst since
discovery of the object.
However, I have found a reference to another reported observation
of CT Hya : it appears the object was also seen in outburst on
March 6, 1991, when it reached mag. 14.3.
This reference is part of a database on 'Outburst Activity of
Cataclysmic Variables', set up by the Belgian Astronomical Association
VVS, and compiled by myself. The database contains outburst information
on poorly studied cataclysmic variables. It currently consists of
>100 peculiar CV's and totals several hundreds of outburst observations
of these objects.
