An apparent outburst of 29P has taken place today at 2019 August 02.2 
+/-0.4.

The m2 magnitude has changed from close to 16.5R to 14.5R, i.e. of 
intermediate intensity.
However, it is early in its apparition and this is the brightest observed 
outburst so far (viz. since May 13).

Further observations are encouraged.
