Dear Colleagues,

we have finished about 4 hours of time resolved photometry on
this star, remotely using the 17" robotic unit part of the Virtual telescope
Project in Italy.

The source was about at mag. 16.7, the sky was significantly better than during 
our previous run.  The lightcurve shows a modulation, about 0.15 mag large, 
indicating superhumps.

Joining our two datasets, we get an estimate for Psh = 1.63(2)

Data were sent to Kyoto for analysis.

Regards,
Gianluca Masi
Francesca Nocentini
