Dear colleagues, I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J14034008+7947313, obtained over the past 7 nights between 2025, Feb 28 and Mar 06 at CBA Belgium Observatory using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and QHY-268M CMOS camera under clear skies. No superhumps were visible in the light curves of this object till 2025, Mar 6/7. The light curve of 2025, Mar 6/7 clearly shows the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.18 mag, establishing TCP J14034008+7947313 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0586 +/- 0.0003d. The object was at mag CV = 15.3 on Mar 06th. Image calibration and photometry were done using Phoranso, which allows to simultaneously measure other variables present in the FOV of a variable star. I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
