Dear Colleagues,
after 1.5 hours on this CRTS transient, I see clear evidence of
superhumps. So far, I can estimate a full amplitude of 0.4 magnitudes.
So, this is a new SU UMa star, right now at about mag. 15.5
Observations are performed remotely using the 14" photometric unit part
of the Virtual Telescope robotic facility in Italy.
The target is low from Italy, so the coverage will be short. I would
suggest to southern observers to do some follow-up on this target.
More later,
Gianluca
