SDSS J081207.63+131824.4: superhump period

   Okayama U. of Sci. team and Ian Miller has reported further observations.
These observations unambiguously identified the correct superhump period
of 0.07810(5) d.  A re-analysis of the 2008 data suggests a mean period
of 0.0775(1) d with a strong period decrease at Pdot = -22(4)*10^(-5).
Observations during the present outburst would clarify whether such
a large period variation indeed takes place.
