  According to cvnet, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova V369 Peg
is undergoing a superoutburst!

  This observation confirms the earlier claim of superhump detection
by Kato and Uemura (IBVS 5078, 2001).

[excerpt from this paper]

The resultant theta diagram is shown in Figure 2. The best superhump period
is 0.08484¡Þ0.00010 d. The other one-day aliases were excluded by independent
detections of the same signal by Pietz (1999) and Vanmunster (1999a, 1999b).
Figure 3 shows the phase-averaged light curve of superhumps. The superhumps
had a large amplitude of ~0m.3. The superhump period of 0d.0848 makes
V369 Peg as one of SU UMa-type dwarf novae with long orbital periods.
The overall pattern of outbursts looks similar to the long-period system
YZ Cnc.
