Simultaneous V and I-band time-series observations will provide 
a unique chance to study possible color variations during 
the peculiar outbursts of this object.  Even without another filters, V-band, single-color time-series observations are valuable.  

An short outburst of this object was well observed in 2001 
and observations were summarized in Ishioka et al. 2002  
(http://jp.arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0206184).  
Observations of the current outburst would be useful in order to 
confirm the results reported in their paper 
or possibly provide new key findings which have overlooked before.
