2QZ J015940.6-281040     20180109.401    12.5    OUTBURST


This is the first recorded visual observation in the AAVSO database. The last outburst was detected with CCD by Peter Starr and Josch Hambsch in December 2014. It may have had other outbursts since, but hardly anyone observes it. I wonder if this star is a UGWZ.
