TCP J15375685-2440136: possible superhump period

   Berto Monard has reported observations on March 1-3.
Due to the faintness, the light curve was rather noisy.
Combined with Kiyota-san's observations, it seems that
superhumps evolved since Feb. 23.  The period was difficult
to determine, but the strongest signal was at 0.06161(3) d,
1.0% longer than the orbital period.  The period, if confirmed,
suggests that the object is a candidate period bouncer.
