ASASSN-20mq: new SU UMa/WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

   Berto Monard and Josch Hambsch have reported observations.
Two superhumps were recorded in the data on Oct. 8
by Josch Hambsch (gap in the observations around
the expected second maximum and the true period appears
to be around 0.055 d).
A hint of growing superhumps was recorded in
observations on Oct. 6-7 by Berto Monard.
Considering the long waiting time and short period,
the object is most likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
