MASTER OT J132104.04+560957.8: high-amplitude two-pole accretor?

   Colin Littlefield has reported time-series observations.
He detected two maxima during one orbital cycle.  The object
became fainter than 18.5, and the total amplitude was more than
1.5 mag.  The light curve looks like a two-pole accretor
rather than a true eclipsing polar.  The best orbital period
determined from this observation was 0.0638(2) d.
Further observations are encouraged.
