DWARF NOVA IN HYDRA
     S. Honda and K. Kinugasa, Gunma Astronomical Observatory; and H. Yamaoka,
Kyushu University, report that a low-resolution spectrum (range 400-800 nm) of
the possible dwarf nova in Hydra that was reported on CBET 1225, taken on Jan.
27.7 UT with the Gunma 1.5-m telescope (+ LRS), shows a blue continuum with
the Balmer lines in absorption.  The H_alpha absorption is filled by the
emission component.  This confirms that the object is a dwarf nova in outburst.
