The old nova X Ser appears to be starting another DN outburst as shown by the following CCD observations:

The last observed DN outburst of this star was in September, 2016. X Ser is just starting its observing season and can therefore only be observed just before dawn. Additional follow-up by other observers would be appreciated.
