An E-Chart of the field appeared in EC 978 (July 30th 1995).
Taichi Kato has provided the following information:-

'V1028 Cyg (SU UMa-type dwarf nova) is reported to be undergoing a rare
outburst as indicated by the following observations extracted from
vsnet-obs reports.

1996 Aug. 5.051   <15.6  M. Biesmans
          5.984   <15.1  M. Biesmans
          7.048   <15.6  M. Biesmans
          7.899    13.6  M. Biesmans

The last reported outburst of V1028 Cyg occurred on 1995 July 28
(cf. vsnet-alert #166, 168).  The discovery of superhumps during that
outburst led to the present classification of this dwarf nova'.
