Enrique de Miguel reported. An O-C analysis suggests
we are still observing stage B, but the amplitude of
superhumps increased!
===
Comments: Basically, same brightness as 48 h ago.
Persisting double-wave pattern in the light curve.
It seems that the secondary peak is taking the lead; actually,
the amplitude of this secondary peak overtakes the primary peak.
This is likely an indication that a transition is about to happen
most probably, involving a phase shift. Definitely, this target
is currently in its most interesting stage.
The mean period considering JD .geq. 462 (which is when the
double-wave pattern became very noticeable) is
f = 17.056(6) c/d,
2f = 34.191 c/d (~1st harmonic, almost same amplitude)
P = 0.058629(19) d
This is to be compared with the mean Psh for the whole super
which is f=17.136 c/d --> P_sh=0.058358(11) d.
