Dear Colleagues,

after more than 5 hours of time resolved photometry, remotely performed through 
the 14" photometric unit part of the Virtual Telescope robotic facility, I 
obtained a nice lightcurve, showing beautiful superhumps, with an interesting 
profile.

Their amplitude is of about 0.3 mags, while a period search provided a candidate 
for Psh = 2.39(0.03) hours.

The lightcurve is at the link below:

Data sent to Kyoto for analysis.

Regards,
Gianluca
