   So, the amplitude of the current outburst is (at least)
4.9 mag.  Although this is not well above usual thresholds of
SU UMa-type superoutbursts, the literature description would
make it a suitable target for time-resolved photometry.
The reported "low mass-transfer" for such a period (100 min)
is relatively rare; from the lack of prominent emission from
the hot spot in quiescence, the object may resemble rather
unusual dwarf novae like HT Cas.
