Do we have superoutburst?

According to our observations, RZ LMi has stayed in quiescence since JD 844 i.e. during last 7 days (we saw only one normal outburst during this time). Taking into accound 19-day supercycle of this star a superoutburst may appear very soon. The data sent by Bob Koff and Jerry Foote show slight increasing trend in the brightness of the star during last night. Further data gathered by Pawel Kankiewicz indicate that the star is about 1 mag brighter than in quiescence. Do we have superoutburst? Keep watching, keep watching, keep watching :)

Greetings,
Arek
