OT J210950.5+134840: superhumps

   Okayama U. of Sci. team (Kazuyoshi Imamura) reported the detection
of superhumps on May 30.  The amplitudes were 0.2 mag and the approximate
period is 0.061 d.  Superhumps were inapparent in Kiyota-san's observation
on May 25.  The object appears to be a large-amplitude SU UMa-type
dwarf nova rather than an extreme WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
Further observations of this bright object are encouraged!
