[vsnet-outburst 8571] SU UMa bright outburst

SU UMa in bright outburst

 The UGSU type dwarf nova SU UMa is undergoing a bright
outburst.
 Since six months have passed since the last (probable)
superoutburst and the decline speed is not so rapid,
this outburst is a superoutburst.
 I think the maximum of normal outbursts of this star
is recently a little fainter than before.
 Though this star used to reach 12.0 in normal outburst
until ~2005, this star brightened up to only 12.5-13.0
in 2007 except for 1 normal outburst.
