I doubt that this object, CSS110402:135906+554432, is DR UMa.  It's about 0.5 arc minutes northwest of the position given on Romano's chart in IBVS 1674 (GR 296).  The nearest SDSS object to that location is SDSS J135907.78+554358.3 (r = 22.8).  There is no reason to assume that Romano's chart is wrong, as the other charts in that IBVS are quite accurate.
