SDSS J220553.98+115553.7 updated superhump period

   William L. Stein has reported further observations.  The updated
superhump period is 0.05794(3) d, still only 0.7 % longer than the
orbital period.  The object is thus expected to be a WZ Sge-type
dwarf nova whose true maximum and stage of early superhumps were
probably missed.  The small fractional superhump excess would suggest
multiple post-superoutburst rebrightenings.  Continued observations
are strongly encouraged!
