[vsnet-superoutburst 784] Re: WZ Sge brightened 0.5 mag in 4 hours

[Lew Cook <lcoo@yahoo.com>]

Removing the companion's light contribution with my spreadsheet
nemesis.xls from the data collected last night has has amplified the
changes in brightness of WZ Sge (of course!). 

The rise in brightness attributable to WZ Sge is 0.8 magnitude in 4
hours, a rate suggestive of a dwarf nova outburst.

The prior night showed a slow decline. Both nights are plotted on one
graph and the abruptness of the increase is dramatic. The curves are
added to my WZ Sge page at
