ASASSN-15bu: deeply eclipsing SU UMa-type in superoutburst

   Enrique de Miguel has reported observations.
His remark is attached.
(Note that the quoted ephemeris does not supersede
the one in vsnet-alert 18228).

Comments:      The current eruption is a superoutburst, with large-amplitude
               superhumps (~0.4 mag). The best superhump period from this
               single run is P_sh=0.08057 d.

                The CRTS data at quiescence reveals the eclipsing nature
               of this object, with ephemeris:

                  HJD_min = 2455129.7448(16) + 0.07681908(2) E

               It must be a high-inclination object, as the depth of the
               orbital eclipses in quiescence is about 2 mag. 
                Three eclipses are captured in this run.
