UV PERSEI
Tonny Vanmunster, Landen, Belgium reports that the UG star
UV Persei, located at RA 02h06.7m DEC +56 57'[1950] is in outburst.
The event has been confirmed by Gary Poyner, Birmingham, UK:
1994 May 29.913UT, 11.9 (Vanmunster, 0.35-m reflector)
         29.993UT, 11.9 (Vanmunster)
         31.001UT, 12.3 (Poyner, 0.20-m reflector)
The estimates by Vanmunster were made using the AAVSO sequence.
Gary Poyner's estimate was derived from the BAAVSS/TA sequence but
he mentions his estimate for May 31.00UT using AAVSO would reduce
to 11.5.
The previous outburst occurred in 1993 April (TA Vol 30 No 349
p23 [1993]).
