Scientific paper

We report on a sudden brightening of the dwarf nova WZ Sge during decline from outburst (cf. IAUC #7669, IAUC #7670). The observations were made with the 0.82-m IAC80 telescope at Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain). The object has risen approximately two magnitudes, and CCD photometry gives B=11.33 +/- 0.01 and R=11.09 +/- 0.01 (August 21.875 UT). This "mini-outburst" has occured after a steep dip in brightness and the magnitude seems to shift back to the previous decreasing trend.
