EX LUP: POSSIBLE MAJOR OUTBURST
In AAVSO Special Notice 93, the pre main-sequence eruptive variable EX 
Lup (AAVSO 1556-40) is reported in outburst. Albert Jones, New Zealand 
reports it at visual magnitude 9.5 on 2008 Jan 19 (14:58UT). This is the 
second brightest outburst in this object's recorded history, behind the 
major outburst of ~ 8.5v, recorded in 1955.
The AAVSO ask observers to continue monitoring this object through the 
current outburst. Filtered photometry of this outburst is encouraged; 
all observations including visual will be very useful in tracking the 
evolution of this current activity.
EX Lup is located at RA: 16:03:05.5 , Dec: -40:18:25 (J2000)
