nova in Hercules is in outburst! Last negative observation was a week
ago.

Previous outbursts: 2013 Apr. 18 (discovery by CSS), 2007 May 15
(found post factum in CSS data). There was extensive observing
campaign in April-May 2013 following [vsnet-alert 15629]. The
photometric behavior (~50 days long superoutburst and evolution of
superhumps) plus presense of Hydrogen lines in spectra allowed to
classify the star as UGWZ dwarf nova. The period around 0.045d makes
it an extremely unusual object. Yet now we have an outburst just 15.5
months after the previous one!
