   According to cvnet, Tonny Vanmunster refined the superhump
period of OT_J195951.3+224232 = Var Vul 05 (I simply prefer
more specific tentative name, there may be other variables
yet to be discovered in Vul this year...) to be
0.0590 +/- 0.0002d.

   The period is within the known samples of WZ Sge-type
dwarf novae, though seemingly early appearance (unless
the outburst had been overlooked for a long time) of the
superhumps would prefer a more usual SU UMa-type dwarf nova.
