After 3 weeks of slow fading at nearly the constant rate of 0.12
mag/day, this variable has finally dropped by 1.7 mag in 2 days, as
shown by the observations with MASTER-Amur 0.4-m f/2.5 telescope
(60-sec exposures, unfiltered magnitudes with USNO-B1.0 red zero
point):

  20121019.721  158C  MASTER-Amur
  20121021.709  175C  MASTER-Amur

The nightly monitoring is now strongly desirable, especially for the
whole next week, to see if the variable will show the rebrightenings
which are the main distinguishing feature of UGWZ-type dwarf novae.
