 NSV 3240 (UGSU:)

The previous long outburst (superoutburst?) of NSV 3240 was
recorded from 2019 November 8 to 20. All outbursts recorded since
then (found by me in ASAS-SN Sky Patrol, ATLAS, and ZTF data):
2019 Dec. 29-31 (short)
2020 Feb. 2-4 (short)
2020 Mar. 29
2020 Nov. 22-24 (short)
2021 Jan. 14-16 (short)
2021 Mar. 9- (long)
The duration of long outbursts of NSV 3240 is almost two weeks,
whereas short outbursts last only about three days. These are
the typical durations of superoutbursts and normal outbursts in
(standard) SU UMa-type dwarf novae.
 
Time-resolved photometry during the current outburst is required.
 
Clear skies,
Patrick
