   Greg Bolt and Maehara-san have succeeded in observing OT_J130030.3+115101
(Catalina transient).  The updated superhump period is 0.06441(2) d,
though potential period variation may have affected this determination.
The object has been fading smoothly.  Since the present superoutburst
has lasted for 13 days, the object is expected to enter (or have already
entered) the rapid decline stage.  Further follow-up observations are
encouraged.
