OT_J091936.6-055519 = Catalina Transient

 Catalina survey have detected a new transient.
 The amplitude of this transient (~3 mag) is like that of dwarf novae. 
However, this transient has been bright for 3 months. This is unusual 
for ordinary dwarf novae. 
 Such long-lasting outburst is similar to a X-ray nova. However, such
object have not been reported as far as I can.
 This object might be a new-type object. Although a little faint (~16 mag), 
please observe if you can.
