Bill Worraker, Didcot, UK e-mails that he has detected an outburst
of this suspected Tremendous Outburst Amplitude Dwarf Novae (TOAD)
with observations based on the TA sequence of 920118:
Date                     Estimate      mv       Class

(0.26-m reflector)
Gary Poyner reports confirmation as follows:
Mar 9.001UT, 12.8; 9.021, 12.8; 9.038, 12.7; 9.060, 12.8; 9.082,
12.8. He adds the star was fainter than magnitude 14.5v and not
seen on Mar 7.892UT.
In a later e-mail, Laszlo Szentasko, Hungary, e-mails that he
independently detected the star bright on Mar 8.813UT, 13.8v;
(0.334-m reflector).
Gary Poyner reports that the last recorded outburst for this star
in the records of the UK Nova/Supernova Patrol Recurrent Objects
Section is for 1994 Apr 8 when the star was recorded at mv=14.3
by Bill Worraker. This was reported on TA E-Circular 830 issued
on 1994 Apr 18.

Steve Howell, Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, USA adds that
as a suspected TOAD photometric observations would be extremely
valuable to provide an orbital period.
