V630 Cyg [UGSU:, 13.4p - 17.2p]
===============================

Eric Broens (observing from the South of France) reports an outburst 
of the CVAP object V630 Cyg. Gary Poyner, Birmingham, UK also observed
the outburst. Available observations :

1996 Jul. 10.085 UT,  14.2  (E. Broens, 0.35-m refl., seq: AAVSO);
     Jul. 11.039 UT,  14.4  (G. Poyner, 0.40-m refl.);

Remark that the classification of V630 Cyg as a SU UMa-type dwarf
nova is still unsure. Therefore follow-up observations (in particular
high-speed CCD photometry in search of superhumps), are highly 
encouraged.

V630 Cyg underwent a remarkable outburst in October 1995, when it was
visible at mag 14.2 for one night, then disappeared (<14.9) and again
was in outburst 4 nights later (see CVC 66). This was very likely a 
precursor type of short outburst followed by a superoutburst, hence
establishing the SU UMa-type nature of this object.

V630 Cyg was last reported in outburst on May 23, 1996 (Lasse Jensen,
CBA Denmark) [CVC 96].



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

The DM Lyr outburst, announced in our previous circular, receives
good coverage, as indicated by the photometric summary below.
