This variable is included in the Downes & Shara _Living Edition_ of their
Catalog and Atlas of CVs under the name
1RXS J0001-6707, with max. mag of 13.4. The ASAS3 catalogue gives a light
curve, showing two maxima which have the characteristic rapid rise and fall
of a UG star, but the amplitude is a bit small, only 2.5 mag.  Is it a UG or
Novalike var.?
As luck would have it, there is a published sequence only 7' away which
should suffice for the time being. This is sequence J45.3 by S.Demers et al,
Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. 99,461-498 (1993).  Coordinates for the sequence
stars were extracted some time ago by Brian Skiff.
Sequence Demers J45.3.
