SDSS J080434.20+510349.2: fading stopped, humps and eclipses

   We have received further observations by Ivan Sergey and almost nightly
observations from the Kyoto team (observer: Ohshima-san).

   The rapid fading of SDSS J080434.20+510349.2 has already ended, and
the most recent observation (Oct. 5) by the Kyoto team even suggests
a slight trend of brightening.  The humps (located slightly too early
for orbital humps, and may be superhumps) and eclipses are again clearly
visible.  The eclipses were 0.2 mag deep and occurred very slightly later
than the predicted eclipse center.

   These modulations might suggest an ongoing rebrightening.  Please keep
observing!
