   The magnitude when superhumps appeared was 14.3.
If the quiescent magnitude is 21.0, the amplitude
when when superhumps appeared is 6.7, which is not
particularly large, i.e. the object is not particularly
faint in quiescence.  See arXiv/1507.07659
(The magnitude when superhumps appear is a useful
measure rather than the full outburst amplitude).
