Re: OT_J170343.6+090835 superhumps

   I have confirmed the analysis by G. Masi of OT_J170343.6+090835
(=CSS090622:170344+090835).  The period derived from Masi's data
was 0.0609(3), in agreement with Masi's.  The superhump profile
seems to suggest that the outburst had already been slightly evolved.
Further observations are encouraged!

PS. The CSS name "CSS090622:170344+090835" refers to an event rather
than the object by design (hence the notion by the CRTS team that
"the IAU has suggestions - not rules - about naming sources, and has
none whatsoever about naming events" may well be justified).
We need object names, and adopted temporary semi-IAU-type "OT" designations.
