I just reduced my data from Friday evening.  The average magnitude (V)
is about 14.0 - about 0.6mag brighter than previous imaging runs.

  U Gem may be in outburst according to the latest report from Wolfgag
Renz:

U GEM      FEB 20.222     10.6:  RWG       Moon - Clouds - Outburst

  CCD time series observations from Robert James (JM) last night
showed substantial flickering with U Gem reaching as bright as V=12.6.
 Dr. John Cannizzo plans to observe this outburst with RXTE (AAVSO
Alert Notice #312).  CCD monitoring in V is requested through the
duration of the outburst.  Be careful of a close Moon!
