Long outbursts were recorded on 2014 Sept. 27 (start missed?),
2015 Oct. 27 (probably first week missed), 2016 Nov. 4, 2017 Dec. 7,
and 2019 Feb. 11. The mean interval between superoutbursts is ~400 days.
Very short (presumably normal) outbursts were observed on 2016 May. 5
(by Stubbings), 2018 Mar. 30 and Aug. 23 (both by the ASAS-SN Sky Patrol).
Time-resolved photometry during the 2019 superoutburst would have been
recommended.
Regards,
Patrick
