    AAVSO MyNewsFlash Special Notice (December 6, 2003)
      UZ Boo appears to be in outburst according to these observations:

      1439+22A UZ BOO (UGWZ):
        NOV 27.2438 <13.6 MUY
        DEC 04.545 <17.5 SPK CCDCR
        DEC 05.4852 13.5 WJD CCDI Err: 0.03
        DEC 06.0382 12.5 OAR CCDV Err: 0.05
        DEC 06.4803 12.5 WJD CCDV Err: 0.02

        MUY EDDY MUYLLAERT OOSTENDE, BELGIUM
        SPK PATRICK SCHMEER SAARBRUECKEN, GERMANY
        WJD DOUG WEST MULVANE, KANSAS
        OAR ARTO OKSANEN MUURAME, FINLAND

    The last outbursts of UZ Boo were in 1994 and 1978. In 1994 it peaked
    around 11.5 before fading slowly over a few weeks according to AAVSO data.
    There is very little data on this star. Early analysis by Arto of his time
    series data does not reveal superhumps at this time.

    Visual observers are asked to follow this star closely. CCD observers are
    asked to get as much time series data as possible, preferably with a V
    filter, followed by B. We need global coverage with as little gaps in the
    observations as possible. Please try to get long observing runs.

    We have an e-scale chart here:

    Clear skies!
