RU Hor superhumps update

   We have received further data from Breg Bolt and Berto Monard.
The mean superhump period was 0.07101(2) d, which is slightly
shorter than the 2003 one, 0.07087 d for the entire superoutburst.
The difference in the period possibly reflect the different stage of
the outburst, suggesting that the period evolution is presently
ongoing.  Nightly observations are necessary to clarify the nature
of the difference in the superhump period and its potential further
evolution.
