[vsnet-alert 13087] DR UMa outburst!

DR UMa outburst!

   CRTS has detected an outburst of DR UMa.  This is the brightest outburst
in recent years (historically brightest?).

   The classification of this object has been unclear.  There is a radio
source close to the nominal position, and the variable has been suspected
to be an extragalatic one by some authors.  However, the current CRTS
position appears to be about 3 arcsec distant from the QSO position.
13 59 05.7492 +55 44 29.477

   Observations (including spectroscopic confirmation) during the current
outburst are encouraged!
