Hello everyone,

to follow-up my own post requesting confirmation, we have just issued 
Special Notice #144 on the current QZ Vir superoutburst.  The AAVSO has 
comparatively little time series on QZ Vir, and given that superhumps have 
been reported, time series is encouraged, along with with visual 
estimates and all other photometry.

The text of SN #144 is here:

Regarding possible Spitzer observations, Steve Howell informed me that 
Spitzer would not be able to observe QZ Vir, again due to pointing 
constraints.  Thanks to the many observers who have followed up on this 
and other requests for confirmation of outbursts for this AAVSO campaign 
-- your observations are greatly appreciated!

Clear skies,

 	Matthew
