OT J145921.8+354806: superhumps update

   Gianluca Masi has reported further observations.  The mean superhump
period has been 0.08506(5) d.  The O-C behavior, however, of the most
recent data appears to be different from a smooth extension of the earlier
results.  The recent Pdot appears to be positive.  We may be witnessing
a phase of period increase as was observed in a long-Psh system GX Cas
(2010).  Further continued observations are encouraged!
