VARIABLE STAR IN LEO
     K. Ayani, Bisei Astronomical Observatory (BAO); and T. Kato, Kyoto
University, report that they obtained spectra (range 400-800 nm; resolution
0.5 nm) -- with the BAO 1.01-m telescope at Ibara, Okayama, Japan, on Nov.
21.8 UT -- of the variable star in Leo that was announced on CBET 746.
The spectra show characteristics of a dwarf nova in outburst; H-beta and
H-gamma lines are in absorption on a blue continuum, and there appears to
be an emission component embedded within the absorption component of
H-alpha.  There are no other strong emission lines.
