Dear Colleagues,

We performed time resolved photometry  on this source, remotely using the 
robotic 14" unit part of the Virtual Telescope in Italy. The run lasted 4 hours.

The source was at mag. 15.5R (unfiltered).

It shows beautiful double-peaked superhumps, with alternate, slightly different 
amplitudes of about 0.15 mags.

A period search provided a candidate of Psh=1.52(3) hours. Apparently, peaks are 
not exactly Psh/2 apart in time.

Data sent to Kyoto for analysis.

Regards,
