    Dear CBAers,
    
    Gracious, two more rare erupters at 14th magnitude tonight!
    Not much known about either, but UW Tri is a bona fide WZ Sge star and 
    very likely to flash an impressive light curve.
    
    I'm (almost) away from email now... but these are really good targets. 
    The fact that they're all coming together sounds like "crying wolf" - 
    but honest, these are very bashful stars jumping out of the darkness - 
    and hopefully into your telescope.
    
    Back to normal email late tomorrow.
