Eclipsing, orbital period 1.26432 d

I just noticed a new eruption of the recurrent nova LMC V1341 in recent ASAS-SN Sky Patrol (Shappee et al. 2014ApJ...788...48S and Kochanek et al. 2017PASP..129j4502K) data:

Previous eruptions were recorded in 1968, 1990, 2002, 2010, and 2016.

Spectroscopy and time-resolved photometry are urgently required.

Clear skies,
Patrick
