  DT Oct = NSV10934 is undergoing a bright outburst (possibly
a superoutburst?).  The last superoutburst was reported in
2006 May (max 12.0).  If the present outburst turns out to be
a superoutburst, the measured supercycle (around 130 d) seems
to be short for an object with a medium cycle length (40-60 d).
There have been several records of short outbursts reaching
as bright as mv=12.2.  The current outburst may be an outburst
with similar properties.
