V551 Sgr outburst! As reported by Rod Stubbings, the suspected SU UMa-type dwarf nova (possibly related to WZ Sge-type objects?) V551 Sgr is undergoing a relatively bright outburst. Urgent time-resolved photomretry is encouraged! The last outburst in 2003 April was a short outburst, well followed by the VSNET team. The last reported long outburst (superoutburst?) occurred in 2001 May; the present brightness already surpasses the reported maximum of the 2001 May outburst!
