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
