Dear Kato-san.

We have observed GAIA18aak/AT2018C (RA 04:12:01.22  DEC 76:00:57.31) on
2018-01-09 (MJD 58127.85) with the AZT-8 0.7-m f/4 reflector at the
Lisnyky Observatory. On light curve obtained over 3 hours in R-band we
detected variations with the period of about 0.068d and amplitude 0.15m
and suggest that this object may be a cataclysmic variable - SU UMa type
dwarf nova during superoutburst. Some more details are available in ATel
#11155 (http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=11155).

With best reards,
Andrew Simon.
