(cba:news) Fwd: [vsnet-alert 14858] OT J203937.7-042908: SU UMa-type dwarf nova in the period gap (Joe Patterson) [2012-08-18T10:56:55Z]



Hi CBAers,

This one definitely looks worth following! Full info on it is contained on the Catalina Sky Survey CV page:
nessi.cacr.caltech.edu/catalina/BrightCV.html

Superhump observations at this long a period are somewhat rare (because the stars are, not because they don't superhump) - so that gives it a higher importance.

Continued observations are encouraged!
