Hi, all. As reported by Patrick and Tonny, SDSS J170213.26+322954.1 seems to be in
outburst. This is one of the CVs discovered by Paula, Arne and their team members in the
SDSS data. Not much is known about the object other than it was eclipsing when Arne
acquired quiescence photometry on it for the SDSS paper.
If you are interested in CVs, time series data in V or unfiltered would be useful just to
get an idea about the system's current behavior. If you can send your observations in
quickly we will look at the light curve and tomorrow decide whether there is something
unique about this system that would warrant a full campaign.
So take a glance tonight, send in your data and tomorrow we'll make a call based on what
we see.
Aaron
p/s: The object is in the AAVSO Validation file as: SDSS1702.
