CRTS observed SDSS J094002.56+274942.0 in outburst yesterday (see <http://n=
esssi.cacr.caltech.edu/catalina/20010319/103191260474100307p.html>) at mag.=
 14.6.=A0 At minimum it is around mag. 18.=A0 This CV was discovered by Szk=
ody et al. in SDSS spectra (<http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007AJ....134..1=
85S>).=A0 As far as I know, this is the first observed outburst of this obj=
ect after its discovery (there was a previous outburst in November 2002, ob=
served by NEAT).=A0 To my knowledge, the orbital period is not yet known, b=
ut the object is fairly red in SDSS, so likely its period will be relativel=
y long.
