Dear Colleagues,

CRTS has detected a new transient (CSS110628:142548+151502). The source 
was at mag 17.2 (with a SDSS magnitude of 21.6).

Time resolved photometry was started, remotely using the 14" unit part 
of the Virtual Telescope and revealed superhupms (with a full amplitude 
of 0.2 mags), suggesting a Porb well inside the period gap.

Data will be send to Kyoto for analysis.

Regards,
Gianluca
