Dear Colleagues,
I had a 3 hours long run on this OT, before the clouds forced me to stop. I
remotely used the photometric 14" unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project.
The OT is clearly superhumping, with an amplitude of 0.5 mags. Also, it is
showing sharp, >2-mag deep eclipses Their duration is around 25-30 minutes.
I performed a Psh search, obtaining a period candidate of 2.27 hours, into the
period gap.
The LC is available here:

Data will be sent to Kyoto for analysis.
Regards,
Gianluca
