Dear Colleagues,

I confirm that this transient is beautifully superhumping, showing wavew 
with a full amplitude of 0.2 mags. An estimate for Psh, based on a 
1.7-hours long run, suggests a value of 1.42 hours.

I will continue for about 1 hour on both this target and SDSS 
J133941.11+484727.5.

Regards,
Gianluca
