SDSS J093249.57+472523.0: new eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova

   Enrique de Miguel's report:

===

              This target sounded like very interesting when I got
              Jeremy's alert. Run started as soon as I got the alert.
              The run is not as long as I would've liked. Note that
              the target was at Alt~52deg when the run was started
              and I ended when the target was literally hiting the 
              trees .... (Alt~25 deg). This, along with the moonlight
              and the faintness of the target, are responsible for
              for the relatively large errors in the data.

               The run is short but one can guess that the system is 
              superhumping, with the typical superh structure 
              that can be seen right after the eclipse.
              Actually, it looks like the eclipse is not
              as deep as it is reported at quiescence because
              the superhump maxima takes place during 
              the eclipse. This system will then show varying eclipsing
              depths depending on the relative position of the superh
              maxima and the eclipse minima.
              Also noticeable is the substantial (orbital) hump right
              after the eclipses. 
             
                 Using ANOVA, I find P=0.0698 d, which should be viewed 
              as a tentative value of Psh, provided that one knows
              that Porb=0.066303d. The run is short, however, and 
              this value will surely be refined in the coming runs.
 
                Definitely a nice target that should be given high
              priority.
