V. Denisenko, Space Research Institute, Moscow, Russia, has reported in a draft paper for Peremennye Zvezdy, his discovery of an uncatalogued cataclysmic variable in Lyra listed in USNO B1 as 1320-0390658 and located at: RA 19h 21m 44.23s DEC +42 04' 41.81" (2000) Multiple Palomar plates in an overlap area allow an outburst to be detected on 1991 Sept 6 and near minimum on 13 further plates. Historical images suggest B approx. 20 at minimum with outbursts to B=15.2. It may be a dwarf nova of the UGSS type. Another variable has been found 5' north of the above eruptive, which is a star catalogued as USNO B1 1321-0397655. This is located at: RA 19h 21m 48.93s DEC +42 09' 46.60" (2000). One outburst was noted in 1993 from R approx. 19 to I=11.8 and may be a recurrent nova or UGWZ dwarf nova. The paper when published should contain images with objects listed for identification purposes.
