Dear colleagues,

I have just finished analysing my (ongoing) unfiltered CCD observations of MASTER OT J193922.39+665346.0, obtained tonight (2020, Nov 06/07) at CBA Belgium Observatory, using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and STT-3200ME CCD camera under clear skies. 

Superhumps with an amplitude of 0.20 mag are clearly in the resulting light curve, establishing MASTER OT J193922.39+665346.0 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0, in beta testing), yields a combined superhump period of 0.0717 +/- 0.0023d. The object was at mag 16.4 (CV) on Nov 06th.

I will send my observations (currently large backlog) to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

Follow-up observations are recommended to refine the superhump period.

Best regards
Tonny
