Dear Colleagues, last night, I obtained my third set of data on this star, covering about 3.5 hours. I used the 14"-f/6.8 + ST-10XME robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project installed in Manciano, Italy. The source continues to likely show early superhumps; using the three available datasets, I obtained for their period a value of 1.350 +/- 0.006 hours. Because of the position of this transient, just a few hours are available in the second part of the night to observe it, so coverage for different longitudes would be very precious. Data will be send to Kyoto for further analysis. All the best Gianluca Masi Virtual Telescope Project
