[vsnet-outburst 9605] Re: [baavss-alert] KP Cas

[David Boyd]

Gary,

I think you're right! I've been following this for 3hrs now and have seen what 
appear to be two classic 0.3 mag superhumps peaking at 13.85V with a period of 
~0.085 days (~2hrs). It looks like KP Cas has finally come out as a UGSU-type 
dwarf nova.

Thanks for the suggestion and to Eddy for the chart.

Regards,
David Boyd (BDG)
