  KV And superoutburst continues.  Recent data:

* Relatively rare, bright superoutburst apparently still on the
  rise.

* This object is known to have a large outburst amplitude
  (cf. PASJ 46, L199 (1994)), though the GCVS minimum magnitude
  is clearly too faint.  The real outburst amplitude is about 5.5
  mag.

* Relatively well observed in the past, but would be a suitable
  target for a limited observable field of view (EI Psc being the
  top priority target).
