Dear Colleagues,

after 4 hours of time resolved photometry, remotely performed with the 14" 
photometric unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project, in Italy.

The star, now at mag. 17.6, was a bit challenging, also because of the Moon, but 
its lightcurve seems to show evidence of 0.15/0.2 mag large superhumps, with a 
very preliminary period estimate around 1.5 hours.

Data will be send to Kyoto for analysis.

regards

Gianluca Masi
