Professional astronomers have asked us to monitor several possible recurrent objects in order to confirm the identification and/or the CV-subclass. We have divided the objects in two groups: GROUP 1 ======== For these objects, our observations of an outburst could secure the correct identification and confirm the CV classification. EV Aqr UGZ: V1289 Aql NL: AQ CMi UG: V337 Cyg UG: IR Lyr UG: V650 Ori UG: AS Psc UG 1963 V701 Tau UG: SS LMi N or UG 1980 GROUP 2 ======== For these objects, our observations could confirm the subclass. FS Aur UGZ: ug secure, only Z Cam subclass uncertain CI Gem UGSU: ug secure, only SU UMa subclass uncertain V358 Lyr N:/UGWZ 1965 The above objects are not included in The Astronomer Recurrent Objects programme, but we feel they also need our attention. Indeed, most professional astronomers will only be interested to observe such objects if it is proven that they are indeed peculiar and the identification is somewhat secured. Charts and finder charts for the variables in our CV Alert Programme can be obtained from the editors. We are interested to receive your observations of outbursts of these stars. Paul Van Cauteren
