That superoutburst was detected on 1990 Jun. 30. However,
the last recorded one started on 1993 Apr. 25.
 
Btw, why was a copy of your report posted to wzsge at yahoogroups.com?
VY Aqr is not a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova but an SU UMa star 
(with a mean cycle length of about 1 year and a supercycle length
of about 2 years).
