Announcement: New Applications
We are excited to announce the launch of our new applications! We're opening up early access to our new applications for searching, downloading, and submitting photometric observations. You can now access these applications through these links:
We ask for your feedback in order to help us improve these applications. Please send feedback for the applications above to feedback@aavso.org. Note: please avoid duplicating submissions across the two submit applications.
This star has just gone thru a dip in magnitude of about 3 magnitudes and has now recovered back to the original decline trend magnitude. Looks like a UGWZ light curve.

Mewlon 250mm f15 EP 288x - A nice target to follow.

Does target have AUID?
AUID probably not yet but progenitor likely to be Gaia G mag 20.2 star (Gaia DR3 1857057959447151616)

An ATel now suggests this is a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova outburst:

Is anyone observing this object? I have a few nights of it early on... Is there any interest?
Jim (DEY)
Yes I do, weather permit ofcourse, but it looks that I'm the only visual observer in our DataBase ???
Just uploaded my back-log of BVRI photometry on this object. Nice slow decline typical of a WZ Sge type star as proposed by others.
Surprised at the lack of interest.
Jim (DEY)
My first guess at a super-hump period from my CV time-series gives 0.056 days (about 80 minutes).with an amplitude of 0.13 magnitude.
Is it real or is it Memorex?
