   Report from Colin Littlefield:

===

SDSS J163722.21-001957.1 has faded quite rapidly since Rod Stubbings's =
observation. In a one-hour integration centered on 3:15 UT on 8 July, I =
observed it to have an average magnitude of 16.83 +/- 0.03 (unfiltered =
but reduced as V). There is a fainter star which blends slightly with =
the CV at my image scale, so if anything, I might be overestimating the =
brightness of the CV.

The signal-to-noise ratio is too low in the individual exposures to =
detect any variability.

Best Regards,
Colin Littlefield
