(cba:news) V485 Cen... and HV Vir

[Joe Patterson]

Dear CBAers,

This vsnet summary of Rod Stubbings' observations of V485 Cen show that 
it is presently in outburst.  If it's a super, then we'd definitely like 
to get coverage.  We've never had good coverage of a super from this 
star... and in view of its strange Porb (59 min), it would be awfully 
nice if we could remedy this deficiency.

And HV Vir should certainly be accorded very high priority; only a few 
observations so far (Michel Bonnardeau and Arto Oksanen), but I 
earnestly hope for a deluge!
