If the speculation correct, confirmation and spectroscopy should be urgent:

Hi Peter, the fresh spectrum from Italy (luckily clear sky here). Flux calibrated with mean V mag (10.73) during the observation.

Thank you Paolo for the spectrum! (especially because I cannot shoot this night...)
Looks like a kind of symbiotic outburst.

Robert Fidrich has this newly found variable star ("Vend S955") already on his observing plan for a longer time, here is his light curve:

A fresh Vmag is 10.85V (observer: Tamas Tordai) so it may have stopped.

EDIT: this light curve is from ASAS-SN

This is fantastic! Congratulations Paolo !!!! :P
Peter: thank you for the alert and informations
Clearly a symbiotic with He II and perhaps [OIII] (He II is sufficient for symbiotic classification with Balmer lines in emission on a read giant continuum)
The amplitude of the variation before optical outburst is very low for a Mira
I open a page in the data base
Of course, coverage of the event is strongly recommended.
High resolution and Echelle spectra are expected.
Ranges : [OIII] 5007, NIII/CIII 4640 + He II, [Fe VII] 6087 and Raman OVI 6830

Clarification post by Robert Fidrich:
François

Some clarification.

I found this star in outburst during our "Vendégcsillag-kereső" (Gust Star Hunter) nova patrol programme. There was a sudden brightening in a few days - in contradiction of the original semiregular variable (SR) classification based on archives ASAS-SN photometry.

The light curve attached by Peter on the forum was not made by me, but the can be generated/downloaded through the ASAS-SN website:

https://asas-sn.osu.edu/light_curves/75 ... 030b616a2d
https://asas-sn.osu.edu/light_curves/cd ... e1b32f1ca2

So this was originally classified as SR variable - not a Mira.

It's realy exciting to catch a new symbiotic variable in it's firts know outburst.

Thank you for your fast reactions!

Clear skies,

Robert

Weather is good and I'm now on this target with eShel spectrograph.

A spectrum just taken of the object by using a Ritchey-Chretien 10-inch f/8 and UVEX2 spectrograph associated to an ASI183MM CMOS camera :

Great spectra!

Yesterday I observed h-alpha line with 2400 l/mm grating (suggested by U. Munari).
