DM Lyr [UG, 13.6p - 18p]
========================

We have been informed by Gary Poyner, Birmingham, UK about his
visual detection of an outburst of DM Lyrae. CCD confirmation has
been obtained from Tonny Vanmunster, CBA Belgium. Reported
observations :

1996 Jul 05.977 UT, [14.8  (G. Poyner, 0.40-m refl.);
     Jul 07.043 UT,  14.5  (Poyner);
     Jul 07.056 UT,  15.0  (T. Vanmunster, 0.25-m SCT, unfilt. ST-7 CCD);
     Jul 07.061 UT,  14.4  (Poyner);
     Jul 07.082 UT,  14.3  (Poyner);

DM Lyr was last seen in outburst on 1995, Nov. 20 by J. Pietz, Germany, 
who reported it at mag. 14.2 [CVC 72]. It reached mag 13.9 approx. 5
days later and remained visible for 8 days [CVC 74].


SX LMi [UGSU, 13 - 17.4V]
=========================   

The table below lists follow-up observations for the SX LMi outburst, 
reported in CVC 97. Given the limited number of observations, it's
difficult to judge if this was a superoutburst or normal outburst.

V1316 Cyg [UGSU:, 14.5p - <17.5p]        
=================================

This intriguing object has been included in the observing programme
of both visual and CCD observers. It has received some good monitoring
already, but deserves further coverage until it disappears in evening
twilight. 

In a recent VSNET message, T. Kato, Kyoto University, Japan, notes :
"I have checked the discovery paper of V1316 Cyg and found the position
exactly corresponds to the object we are observing (the object marked 
in Downes & Shara 1993 and Bruch et al. 1987, A&AS 70,481).  Bruch and 
Schimpke 1992 (A&AS 93, 419) further provides spectroscopic confirmation, 
showing a typical dwarf nova spectrum in outburst."

The photometric summary, started in CVC 96, can be completed with the 
following observations :

Var21 CrB [UG, 14.5 - <17.5p]
=============================  

This recently discovered dwarf nova [IBVS 4343] by S.V. Antipin
has been detected in outburst by M. Iida, VSOLJ, Japan on a
CCD image, obtained on June 26.539 UT. No additional positive
observations have been received and coverage in general was rather
poor. This new variable definitely should get more attention during
a next outburst. Available observations :

1996 Jun 22.503 UT, [17.2  (M. Iida, 0.20-m SCT, unfilt. ST-6 CCD);
     Jun 24.955 UT, [15.0  (G. Poyner, 0.40-m refl.);
     Jun 25.988 UT, [15.0  (G. Poyner, 0.40-m refl.);
     Jun 26.539 UT,  15.4  (M. Iida);
     Jun 26.541 UT,  15.4  (M. Iida);
     Jun 26.544 UT,  15.5  (M. Iida);
     Jul 02.006 UT, [15.7  (L. Jensen, 0.25-m SCT, unfilt. ST-6 CCD);
     Jul 02.915 UT, [15.5  (T. Vanmunster, 0.25-m SCT, unfilt. ST-7);  
     Jul 02.951 UT, [17.2  (L. Jensen);
     


NSV 786 [UG?, 12p - 14p]
========================

NSV 786 has been added to the CVAP in October 1995 [CVC 63], as
a possible UG-type cataclysmic variable with a magnitude range
between mag 12p and 14p.

Ron Downes, STSCI, Maryland, USA communicates following information
on NSV 786 : "I did get the (original) Bamberg reference, which had no 
chart. However, the reference equated NSV 786 with BD+78 79, which is 
a 9.3 star. The range quoted in the paper is 12 max, with an amplitude 
of 2m, so if the BD star is really the object, then the BD observation 
is in outburst, and the range is 10-12, not 12-14 (contrary to the NSV 
catalog).  I have my doubts about the reality of this object, but if 
you can monitor it for a couple months and see no variations, that 
could confirm the non-reality of the CV classification."



IP Peg [UG, 12.0B - 16.6B]
==========================

According to AAVSO News Flash No. 32, the recent IP Peg outburst,
detected by Gary Poyner on June 16.059 UT (at mag. 12.6) was a
superoutburst. We refer to the News Flash for follow-up observations.
