[vsnet-outburst 7222] Re: [vsnet-alert 9107] Re: EG Aqr outburst!!

Hi all,

I managed to do a very quick evaluation of the light curve
for this star. I covered about 3 hours, and at the end  the
stars was quite low on the horizon.

I see the star faded (but again note I ended with the target
so low) of about 0.15 mag during the run, while superhumps
were 0.15 mag large. An estimate for the period done with
eyes is 115 minutes.

Images were remotely collected with the Virtual Telescope,
without filters.

Lc available here:

Kind regards,
Gianluca
