Der WZ-Sagittae-Stern EG Cancri
Abstract
In this paper, I report my observations of the outburst of the WZ Sge star EG Cnc from the roof observatory in Wenigumstadt (Germany) in fall 2018. In addition, I give a brief overview of the discovery and the outbursts of this star from 1977 as well as two previously unknown historical outbursts in 1906 and 1958 from the plate archive of Landessternwarte Heidelberg.
