V795 Cyg [UGSS, 13.4p - <17.9:p]
================================
Tonny Vanmunster, Landen, Belgium reports an outburst detection
of the dwarf nova V795 Cyg, which also was independently discovered
by Lasse Jensen, Farum, Denmark.
Taichi Kato, Ouda Station, Japan comments : "The outburst duty cycle
(fraction of observations brighter than mag 14.0) of V795 Cyg
is estimated at 0.016. This value is one of the smallest among dwarf
novae confirmed or suspected to be above the period gap. The
observations of the current outburst might provide a clue in
understading the physics of dwarf novae of this kind.
V795 Cyg is on the Recurrent Objects Programme (The Astronomer, UK)
and was last seen in outburst on August 26, 1994 by P. Schmeer,
Germany (mag. 12.9).
Available observations covering the present outburst are summarized
in the table below :

After the formal outburst announcement, we were contacted by
P. Schmeer, Bischmisheim, Germany, who reported a possible sighting
of V795 Cyg on May 2.09 UT, at mag. 13.7:. His observation is in
conflict with the estimate obtained by Jensen around the same
moment (see summary above).

Confirmation for the outburst announcement (CVC 35) has been received
from Tonny Vanmunster, Landen, Belgium and Bill Worraker, Didcot, UK.

AL Com [UGWZ, 12.8v - 22v]
==========================
The photometric summary below clearly illustrates AL Com is starting
to enter a critical phase of its lightcurve : observers with large
aperture telescopes are urged to continue their observations, now
that AL Com is getting fainter than mag. 15. Even if the variable
becomes invisible in your instrument, it's extremely important to
keep on monitoring the object, since most astronomers expect that
AL Com will exhibit a 'secondary' maximum.
Recent messages on VSNET furthermore indicate AL Com now is declining
at a high rate of approx. 0.8 mag/day, which is characteristic for the
so called "dip" phenomenon, observed in many UGSU superoutbursts.
