Tonny Vanmunster, Landen, Belgium reports the detection of an outburst of
PV Per. This little studied cataclysmic variable (UG-type) is part of the
CVAP (Cataclysmic Variables Alert Programme) of the Belgian Astronomical
Society. PV Per furthermore is listed as a possible TOAD [1]. Apart from
this, we could trace no further information on the object. The position of
PV Per, following [3], is : 

           R.A.= 02h42m53.57s,  Decl.=+38d04'02.6"  (J2000.0).

Eric Broens, Mol, Belgium has confirmed the outburst. The observations are :

1995 Sep 04.109 UT, [14.9  (T. Vanmunster, 0.35-m refl., seq: GSC);
     Sep 15.881 UT,  14.5  (T. Vanmunster);
     Sep 15.886 UT,  14.7: (E. Broens, 0.35-m refl., seq: GSC);
     Sep 15.875 UT,  14.6  (T. Vanmunster);

in outburst before, by T. Kato on October 20, 1990 at mag. 15.9V.
