HT Cas: late stage

   We have received further data from Terskol team (Maksim Andreev,
via E. Pavlenko), Itoh-san (late stage) and Kiyoshi Kasai-sand (Switzerland).
The most recent observations suggest that superhumps have been decaying
and the signal has become weak.  Instead, orbital humps (not strongly
present in this system in quiescence) have to some degree emerged.
The depths of the eclipse were about 1.7 mag.
The mean period of late-stage superhumps has been 0.07579(1) d.
