Anyone else experience problems yet trying to enter observations of this new object in WebObs? As of this morning, the system doesn't seem to recognize the...
One of the investigators from CSS has agreed to forward information on newly discovered CVs, 16th magnitude or brighter, to CVnet. He'll either post them...
Hi, Here is another likely CV: CSS080405:161851-052509: 2008-04-05 observed unfiltered mag ~16.1 Fainter than ~19.5 on 2008-03-30. PQ/DSS mags ~21. RA=...
No outbursts have been recorded for this object on NEAT (http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/skymorph/obs.html) or USNO (http://www.nofs.navy.mil/data/fchpix/)...
Hi....here is an image of the new nova in Cygnus and some data from last night; north is UP in this image, field is 12' x 7', 0.5m SCT at f/3.3, 3 second...

The new CV CSS080416:080854+355053 (= USNO-B1.0 1258-0161440 = SDSS J080853.72+355053.6) detected in outburst at mag 16.2 last night by the Catalina Sky Survey...
The ROTSE-I system detected an outburst of SDSS J013132.39-090122.3 in 1999. As far as I know, no other outburst of this dwarf nova has been detected. The...

Hi Matt, It is indeed. And what's worse is that I went to VSX to check it before I mailed the group, saw NR TrA and my brain took it for Nova TrA. It must be...

For those who are interested this is a belated reminder that V452 Cas is predicted to have a superoutburst during June or July, but obviously hasn't yet. There...
Keith, The ROTSE images of this field as of today show that U Sco is faint. I suspect the ASAS detection is indeed noise, but it would be prudent to keep a...

Thanks Matthew, I'm going to set up tonight to have a look if the weather holds, I'm actually off on an astrophotogrphy weekend :-) I'll make the field my...

Can someone help me with the ID of V2487 Oph please? The AAVSO chart isn't too clear (the DSS version) which one of two possibles this old Nova is. Well it's...
Following Bob's message, I've uploaded a small (cropped) BRT image (V2487oph.jpg) to the files section with the Nova flagged. Image captured on Jly 19.958UT,...

Well spotted David. This magnitude is the same as the maximum of the last superoutburst so I have no doubt that this is one also. Cheers, Chris V452 Cas is in...
