 According to Andrew Drake, Catalina Sky survey also detected the outburst of 
this object on  24th of Jul, 2010 around 12.7.
 It is not uncertain whether this outburst was a superoutburst or not since
there was only one day observation. Please inform us if you observed this object
around 24th of July. According VSNET database, this object was not observed
between 4th of Jun. and 6th of Jul. Of cource, please check the present
outburst if you can,  although it is very difficult to observe QZ Vir now.
