HT Cas: precursor outburst?

   Itoh-san, Hirosawa-san and Tamas Tordai have reported
observations.  The fading rate is smaller than those of
past normal outbursts and the object still remained bright
on Oct. 25.  The present outburst may be a superoutburst
with a precursor.  In such a case, we can expect to detect
stage A superhumps before a full rise.  Observations
are strongly encouraged.
