NY Her: superhump period
Josch Hambsch has reported observations on four nights. Superhumps
with amplitudes of 0.2-0.3 mag were clearly seen on June 12 and 13.
The period determined from observations on these two nights was 0.07615(8) d.
An analysis of the entire data yielded a period of 0.07600(5) d.
Although it is slightly faint, this object certainly deserves further
detailed observations. Even if the object becomes too faint for
time-series photometry, we encourage nightly snapshot observations
to clarify the cycle lengths of normal outbursts.
