SDSS J080434.20+510349.2: third rebrightening at maximum

   Okayama U. of Sci. team has reported observations last night.
The object was slowly fading from the maximum of the third rebrightening.
There were relatively little variations (0.05 mag in average) but with
significant orbital (or superhump) signals.  The eclipses were very shallow
(less than 0.02 mag, close to the predicted times).

   Josch Hambsch has also reported observations preceding the third
rebrightening.  The data basically confirmed the finding in vsnet-alert 12259,
but Josch's observation covered the earlier part of the rise.  Eclipses
were sharper, and were slightly after phase zero.  The phase 0.6 hump
(or phase 0.3-0.5 dip) was also strong.
