Re: ATEL 1637 - so good, they found it twice!

   The object was given an identifier J183556+222640 (vsnet-obs 21464).
USNO-based chart was made available in vsnet-chart 179.

   The 1999 outburst faded at a rate of 1.1 mag/d, and was fainter
than the present outburst by 1.3 mag.  The long duration of the
present outburst, together with an earlier short outburst, suggests
that the object is currently undergoing a superoutburst.
Time-resolved photometry is encouraged!

   The object may enter the rapid fading stage in several days,
so prompt observations will be a key in detecting possible superhumps!
