KL Dra : Outburst in August

M. Wood found KL Dra in high state (~16.7mag) and observed superhumps with a period of 25 minutes (1527 s), which is remarkably close to the 1490s period for CR Boo. They also noted that the star was originally thought to be a supernova, and it's original designations was sn1998di, however a spectrum showed it to be similar to the AM CVn class of stars (vsnet-campaign 1050). G. Masi reported that it was at about Rc=17.5mag on August 11, which tells the outburst was still not faded at that time (vsnet-campaign-dn 1172).
