(cba:news) [Fwd: [vsnet-alert 11133] SDSS J152419.33+220920.0 outburst] (Joe Patterson) [2009-03-30T21:03:21Z]

Dear CBAers,
We've been studying this star at quiescence (19th mag) for a few weeks, and found deep eclipses with a period of 0.065317 days. Now, as our run on a big telescope ends, it jumps into outburst - the first recorded! Can you get some small-scope coverage on it while it's in outburst? It would be mighty rewarding!

SDSS J152419.33+220920.0 outburst

   Catalina detected an outburst of this CV (high-inclination system
according to Szkody et al. 2009)
903291210784144089 2009-03-29T09:38:48 2009-03-29T09:34:31 15 24 19.30 +22 09 20.3 4.320 15.42 15.46 15.97 15.47 http://nesssi.cacr.caltech.edu/catalina/20090329/903291210784144089.html 

   Although Catalina's observations apparently recorded eclipses, there
remain a number of period solutions.  Further observations will certainly
establish its period.
