TU Men: bright outburst

Dear Colleagues,

  The long-period (long Psh) dwarf nova TU Men is undergoing a bright
outburst (possibly a superoutburst).  We encourage time-resolved photometry
(at least longer than 1 or 2 Psh = 0.1262 d) to search for superhumps,
if the condition allows.  Since CU Vel is still the most active target,
we ecnourage observations of TU Men either some time before CU Vel runs,
or if there is a prospect for other observer's coverage of CU Vel.

  Good luck to all observers!
