[vsnet-alert 12143] Re: OT_J234440.5-001206 = MLS transient

[Gianluca Masi]

Dear Colleagues,

as soon as I received this alert, I slewed my robotic system to this 
transient, starting time resolved photometry.

After 1.6 hours, I see a clear evidence of superhumps, with an amplitude 
of 0.3 mags and a period around 2 hours (estimated by eye!).

So, this star seems to be a SU UMa star.

Regards,
Gianluca

This is very likely a previously unknown dwarf nova.  Details can be found here: <http://www.skyalert.org/events/15318/>.
