While I was at the SAS symposium last week, I learned of the VO (Virtual Observatory) Event Network: http://www.estar.org.uk/wiki/index.php/VOEvent This is...

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...
Hello, I've make time series of MV lyr in June. You can read my first report about it. http://etmor.free.fr/observations/200801to06/MV_Lyr_UK.pdf I will be...
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...
I simply have to say something this time. HO Del was first reported in outburst on CVnet, not vsnet. Hubert Hautecler submitted his report to cvnet outburst,...
Hear, hear. And a hearty "amen." Well stated and right on target. This needed to be said and Mike has expressed it perfectly. I think there are a lot of...
Hello everyone, First of all, I'd like to apologize to Hubert Hautecler and to CVNet for the improper citation used for this morning's Special Notice. As Mike...
Hi, The last weeks I've been following some 'obscure' cataclysmics with the Bradford Robotic Telescope : 1502+09, NSV 5543 and NSV 24663. I've searched the...
... Yup, they are obscure! Simbad is one starting place that has references; VSX is another, and some information available from VizieR. There are a few...
