SDSS J090350.7+330036.1 superoutburst?

   Forwarded message from Enrique de Miguel Agustino:

100 min run showing two eclipses, but I'm not sure if the
hump preceding the second eclipse corresponds to a
normal hump (target in outburst) or to a (super)hump
associated with the target being in a superoutburst stage.

Comments:     Ocassional clouds in the field. 
              H. Maehara reports that according to CRTS, this eclipsing
              CV is in outburst at magnitude 14.6-14.8 (see CSS data
              on 22 May). The orbital period is 0.059073543(9)d.
              Short run of about 100 min showing two eclipses (the 
              second a bit nosiy due to the field being at high
              airmass). I'm not sure if the hump preceding the second
              eclipse is a "normal" pre-eclipse hump (in a normal 
              outburst) or it corresponds to a superhump associated
              to a superoutburst state.
