Re: ES Dra outburst - what type of cataclysmic variable ? A previous outburst of ES Dra in 2000 October was photometrically followed by J. Pietz. No superhump-like variation was found, indicating that the object is a low-amplitude SS Cyg-type dwarf nova. The object is therefore not particularly selected as a VSNET campaign target, unless new finding reveals otherwise.
