The event has been confirmed by Gary Poyner, Birmingham, UK: 1994 May 29.913UT, 11.9 (Vanmunster, 0.35-m reflector) 29.993UT, 11.9 (Vanmunster) 31.001UT, 12.3 (Poyner, 0.20-m reflector) The estimates by Vanmunster were made using the AAVSO sequence. Gary Poyner's estimate was derived from the BAAVSS/TA sequence but he mentions his estimate for May 31.00UT using AAVSO would reduce to 11.5. The previous outburst occurred in 1993 April (TA Vol 30 No 349 p23 [1993]).
