V893 Sco: likely superoutburst
Nakajima-san has confirmed this bright outburst of V893 Sco.
His time-resolved photometry detected 0.3-mag modulation which can be
attributed to superhumps. Since the object is located in difficult
morning sky, observations at multiple longitudes (especially from
southern hemisphere) are strongly requested. If the superhumps are
confirmed, this makes the first-ever confirmed superoutburst of this
object.
