V415 Lyr possible superoutburst
The past light curve looks like that of an SU UMa star with
an unresolved brighter companion. If this interpretation is correct,
the current outburst looks like a superoutburst.

AR UMa short-term variations
Josch Hambsch reported time-resolved observations.
In addition to the expected orbital modulation (0.7 mag),
QPO-like variations were also recorded, which are often
observed in polars.
