EG Cnc [UGSU, 11.9v - 17:v]
===========================

EG Cnc is living up the expectations ! The object rebrightened 
considerably after its initial fading, and is now showing another
superoutburst. First notice of this rebrightening was given by
Taichi Kato, Ouda Observatory, Kyoto University, Japan on VSNET and
further commented in a message on December 21, 1996 : "Preliminary 
analysis of a 4-hour run of EG Cnc tonight has revealed the existence 
of prominent superhumps with an amplitude of ~0.12 mag. The observa-
tion seems to suggest that the present rebrightening is again a super-
outburst following a "dip" or a temporary fading after the main
superoutburst, apparently tracing the course of the spectacular 1995
outburst complex of AL Com ...".

Unfiltered CCD photometry at the CBA Observatory, Belgium, on the
night of December 21/22, 1996 (4-hour run) indicates that the ampli-
tude of the (super)hump features already has decreased to less than 
0.02 mag.

Please continue to monitor this most interesting variable !
