[vsnet-obs 303] rapid decay of V725 Aql

  D. Nogami and S. Masuda at Ouda Station relay that V725 Aql (see vsnet-
alert messages concerning the new identification) has entered a rapid
decay phase.  They provide following preliminary magnitude estimates.

  The present observations seem to establish the dwarf-nova nature of
the object in question.  The large outburst amplitude (~6 mag) and the
long outburst duration may indicate that V725 Aql is a 'TOAD' (tremendous
outburst amplitude dwarf nova).  We welcome follow-up observations and
future monitor by visual observers.
