MASTER OT J094759.83+061044.4: emerging superhumps

   Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team (Oksana Antonyuk, relayed by
Elena Pavlenko) reported new observations.  The data (late on
May 8) showed variation with larger amplitudes (0.05 mag).
This is likely growing ordinary superhumps.  The period is
not still certain, but looks like long (near 0.08 d).
Since such a stage is very difficult to observe and the period
appears to be longer than typical WZ Sge-type dwarf novae,
observations are very urgently requested.  Observations of
such objects during stage A evolution are crucial to
understand their nature.  Please continue observing as long as
you can.
