OT J075414.5+313216: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova

   Enrique de Miguel just reported:

Comments:     Clear skies, but relatively large errors due to moonlight.
              Target detected in outburst by CRTS as communicated
              through VSNet (vsnet-alert 13153) on 14 April ~06:30 UT.
              Target position 07:54:14.52 +31:32:16.1 (J2000.0).
              Short run (~3.5 hours) that shows this target at a mean
              magnitude of ~14.9. Errors are relatively large 
              (bright background) but modulations of ~0.22 mag  
              (peak-to-peak) can be seen. From ANOVa analysis,
              the periodicity of the modulations is 0.064(6) d
              after linearly detrending the data.
              Further data will refine this value.
              The main features of the light curve are clearly
              those of a typical UGSU-type star.
