I have detected the star ASASSN-14CL, which is listed in VSX as a type UGWZ, in outburst at magnitude 13.3 (visual), on September 13.09028. I checked for minor planets in the area, and none were found. The previous outburst occurred in June 2014 (see AAVSO special notice #386): https://www.aavso.org/aavso-special-notice-386
Will other observers please confirm my observation? Thanks!

Hi Carey,
I did observe the field yesterday evening but had it fainter than 14.1... So it seems it has brightened considerably since.
Cheers,

Hi Carey, Eddy
The CV gods are with us on this one. Amazingly I had a BRT image returned of the field this morning, and the object is indeed in outburst. Details are Sep 13.089 UT 13.786C
I was observing last night, but the sky once again clouded over before I got around to Pegasus.
Another ASASSN star designated UGWZ a little too soon perhaps?

Sorry, the Magnitude is 11.9!!

From reports I'm seeing on VSNET (P. Dubovsky) it would appear that it's fading quite rapidly, and there are no reports of superhumps. Looks like a normal outburst then, but always worth sticking with just in case a superoutburst is triggered.
