On December 08, 2017 B. Skiff reported on mpml mailing list, that the centaur 174P/Echeclus (also known as 60558 Echeclus) "seems to be at least 4 mag brighter than expected, and indeed as it appeared at the start of last night's images. The Dec 7 series shows the outburst in progress on images taken near 2:00 and 2:48 UT; it is much brighter now (Dec 8 about 3:30 UT)".
