Abstract
Description
The dwarf nova CG Dra was intensively monitored during 2005 as part of the Variable Star Sections Recurrent Objects Programme and seven outbursts were detected. These observations were combined with others from the BAA and AAVSO databases which confirmed that the star shows frequent outbursts with a period of around 11 days. Two types of outburst have been detected. Short outbursts lasting about 4 days and long outbursts lasting about 8 days.
