[vsnet-alert 10131] Re: U Gem unusual outburst?

[Gary Poyner]

I thought this was strange when I saw it in the AAVSO DB.
I checked with several observers in the UK before updating
CVnet (it was cloudy here) and John Toone observed U Gem
at 14.9 on the evening of April 27, so no outburst!

regards,
Gary
