Dear Colleagues,

We managed to run a time series on this source, remotely using the robotic 14"
unit part of the Virtual Telescope in Italy.

Clouds forced us to stop after 2 hours, but recorded a modulation resembling 
early superhumps.

A period search, also using the partial run from yesterday, provides a candidate 
of 1.49(4) hours.

The star was about 0.4 mag fainter than yesterday.

Data will be sent to Kyoto for analysis.

regards
