[Aavso-photometry] New CV: SDSS J170213.26+322954.1 outburst

[David Boyd]

Hi,

I've been observing this unfiltered since 19.18UT and will continue as long as 
possible. I'll lose it behind trees eventually.

Relative to the two nearby 12 th magnitude Tycho stars, its approximate 
magnitude at present is 13.9.

Regards,
David Boyd (BDG)
