Re: (cba:news) [vsnet-alert 13881] PR Her very bright outburst (Joe Patterson) [2011-11-23T03:00:09Z]
Hercules is mighty tough this time of year, but with help from a range
of longitudes, we might be able to stitch together a good time series.
It certainly has the potential to be an interesting star!

As informed below, PR Her is undergoing a rare bright outburst!
The quiescent magnitude is reported to be 21, and this object is
most likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova (known maximum was 14.0p).
All sorts of observations are encouraged! Accurate astrometry
of the outbursting object is also needed.

Dear Folks,
Walter Macdonald just alerted us on the #aavso IRC channel, that PR Her
is in avery bright outburst near 13th mag.
His CCD picture can be found at:

Is is probably a rare superoutburst?
Clear skies,
