   The following message is from cvnet-outburst.
SDSSJ090103.93+480911.1 is possibly an eclipsing SU UMa-type
dwarf nova (currently undergoing a normal outburst?).

The CV SDSS J090103+480911 was observed in outburst on 2007_10_06.2863 
UT at mag ~ 16.1. Several hours of time series observations present two 
eclipses with a period of ~ 1.9 hours and an eclipse depth of ~ 1.0 
mag. I have been monitoring this star since Nov'06 with only one 
positive identification at ~ mag 19 in Mar'07. To the best of my 
knowledge this CV type is categorized as unknown.
Unfortunately the weather in NH (USA) does not look good for further 
observations this entire week and follow-up observations are 
encouraged.  I would be happy to receive any observations made. 


Clear skies,

Steve Brady (BXS)
