SDSS J125023.85+665525.5 eclipses and superhumps

   Ian Miller has reported the detection of eclipse (0.5 mag) and
superhumps (0.2-0.3 mag) on Nov. 8.  The superhump period determined
from this observation was 0.0590(3) d, about 3% longer than the
orbital period.  Since this period was determined from single-night
observation, further observations are required to refine the period.
The overall behavior resembles that of ordinary SU UMa-type dwarf novae
rather than WZ Sge-type ones.
