OT J104411.4+211307 superhump period

   This object (=CSS100217:104411+211307) is still in superoutburst
(already in outburst for more than 17 d).
Ian Miller, Maehara-san and Kiyota-san have reported observations.
Although there was a gap in the light curve, Miller's latest observation
favors a period near 0.0600 d.  After combining earlier observations,
we have obtained a likely mean period of 0.0600(1) d, possibly with
a significantly positive Pdot.  The relatively flat profile in Miller's
observation suggests a later stage of the superoutburst plateau.
Further observations (and past observations, if any) are strongly requested.
