1SWASP J162117.36+441254.2: deep eclipses

   Geoff Stone has reported observation on two night
(before the report in vsnet-alert 19862).
The object shows 1.0-mag deep eclipses with the suggested
orbital period.  The asymmetric eclipse profile suggests
the contribution from the hot spot.  The light curve
is consistent with an eclipsing dwarf nova in outburst.
The eclipses correspond to the secondary minima of
the quiescent light curve and the difference in
the brightness of two maxima can be attributed to
the hot spot.  The object appears to have a very high
inclination, which may be responsible for the
small outburst amplitudes and strong HeII emission
line (vsnet-alert 19861).

   The name "1SWASP J162117.36+441254.2" appears to be
more adequate in reporting your observations.
