(fwd) HQ Mon (Goranskij)

   Such a fading was probably a dip in IW And-type star
following an outburst (from a standstill).

Dear Dr. Kato.

We have found similar fading of HQ Mon on 2001 Mar 25.
CCD observations were made at SAO RAS observatory with
the 1-meter Zeiss telescope. Here the heliocentric date
for that fading and B,V, and Rc magnitudes are given:

2451994.2503 15.303 14.833 14.413
2451994.2657 15.200 14.827 14.335

Since that time, we hunt for such fadings without any
success. Our light curve in the V band is here:

Our earlies estimates of the cycle length are between 25
and 35 days.
