    Dear CBAers,
    
    Rod Stubbings reports that EG Aqr has jumped into outburst, the first in a 
    few decades perhaps... and Gianluca Masi reports superhumps!  Our kind of 
    star, equatorial, and at a decent time of year.  Let's fire away on this 
    star!
    
    And Var Cas, well, I've bent your ear enough on it.  It's also known as 
    GSC 3656-1328, and 3656-1399... which would make a fine comp star.
