Rod Stubbings has detected a bright outburst of the dwarf nova
EG Aqr. This has been confirmed by Hiroyuki Maehara of the
VSOLJ, at magnitude V=13.08. This object has not been in
outburst in recent history (last outburst I see is 1951?),
so monitoring and V-band time series are encouraged. Good
charts and photometric sequence information is on the
AAVSO website.
