SY Cir: mystery, dwarf nova?

The data show that the object is likely a dwarf nova with a period of 10-20 d. The object looks similar to CN Ori or other short-period SS Cyg stars. However, the VSNET reports have not yet detected any outburst. Since most of the recorded outburst by ASAS-3 reach V=11.5, they must have been well above visual detection limits. The star may have been mislabeled on some chart for visual observation (?). Regards, Taichi Kato
