[vsnet-alert 9831] New CV in CMi

[Hiroyuki NAITO]

Dear colleagues,

We observed a new variable star in CMi announced at the site
of "CBAT Unconfirmed Observations Page".

 > var/CMi        2008 01 19.546   07 47 27.64 +06 50 50.0           
12.3 U

Our low-resolution spectrum taken on Jan. 19.63 UT under hazy
condition shows a smooth blue continuum with absorption lines
of the Balmer series, which indicates that the new variable is
a dwarf nova in outburst.

It can be seen at
