We have obtained unique multiwavelength data of this outburst which lasted ~ 26 days. AAVSO observers recorded the outburst in the optical, which was also monitored by WASP, with a peak V magnitude of ~ 8. The outburst was followed in the UV and X-ray wavelengths by the Swift UVOT and XRT telescopes. The X-ray flux at optical maximum was found to be three orders of magnitude above the pre-outburst quiescent level, whereas X-rays are normally suppressed during dwarf nova outbursts.
