AT 2023wvl - CV Type Transient

AT 2023wvl (Cygnus) AT 2023wvl (Type: CV) discovered 2023-11-06.700 UT by XOSS Alias: KATS23V002, TCP J19582065+5506531 Discovery magnitude 12.9 (Clear Filter) The spectral characteristics and an outburst amplitude of about 8 mag  (above a quiescent level of Vmag=21.3) suggest AT 2023wvl is a dwarf nova .  ( TNS 2023wvl )

AT 2023wvl - 2023-11-12 (T+6.2d) Image below (2023-11-12.871) was taken 6.2 days after discovery of 2023wvl Position of reported transient (relatively distinct, fading) is shown by white cross-hairs Measured magntitude +13.41 (Clear Filter)

Annotated CCD Image (100% size, linear scale, cropped) 4 x 60s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, Clear Filter 2023-11-12 20:56 UT (#1166024-27) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2
