GO COM
Further to the announcement on TA E-Circular 1888, Maurice Gavin
submitted an image of 2003 June 3 at 22.26UT showed GO Com bright
confirming visual reports by others.

Taichi Kato later relayed that as reported by Tom Krajci, GO Com is
now displaying flashing superhumps, finally confirming the SU UMa-
type nature of this object.  The object is now (message dated June
5, 01.32UT) 0.3-0.4 mag brighter than its precursor outburst
starting on June 3.

Maurice Gavin has submitted a further image of June 4, 21.29UT also
showing the object bright.
