(cba:news) FW: V592 Her in outburst!?]

[Joe Patterson]

Gary Poyner forwards Maciej's observation that V592 Her is in outburst 
at 14.1.  This still needs confirmation... and 14.1 might signify a 
fainter ("normal", i.e. non-super) outburst... but since the star is 
normally at 21, anything you can see on small-scope images is news.  And 
any news on this star is big news.  In particular, long time series now 
are vital; last time around (1998), we got good superhump coverage, but 
- as usual - only sketchy coverage of the early superoutburst, which 
sometimes discloses evidence of the exact Porb.

Send any confirmation/refutation, and fire up the time series!
