Pavel Balanutsa has found new CV in Cygnus among MASTER-Tunka
transients from the last night. It was published in ATel #6071
<http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=6071>. The star was
discovered at 16.8m on Apr. 13 and appears to be rising. It has
brightened by 1.0m in two nights since Apr. 11. A previous outburst to
15.2m was found in archival data obtained 3.5 years ago when there
were no reference images to compare to.

18, hence such a blue color.
