E. Waagan, AAVSO, communicates that M. Linnolt (Ocean View, HI, U.S.A.) observed an outburst of the recurrent nova T Pyx at visual magnitude 13.0 on Apr. 14.2931 UT. The outburst has been visually confirmed by several observers, as listed below. According to observations in the AAVSO International Database, the last outburst of T Pyx occurred on 1966 Dec. 10 (cf. IAUCs 1983, 1986, 1993), when it reached visual magnitude 6.5 from fainter than 15th magnitude; it was brighter than magnitude 8 for two months, fading to mag 14.3 by 1967 Oct. 8 and to blue mag 15.2 by 1969 Feb. 24. Previous outbursts occurred in 1890, 1902, 1920, and 1944.
