SDSS J001153.08-064739.1: most likely SU UMa star

Josch Hambsch has recored a 0.2 mag hump. Although the baseline is one orbital cycle, the profile and amplitude suggest a superhump. This object is very interesting since it is in the period gap and has an evolved secondary. The reported mass ratio is above 0.25 and the detection of superhumps is great astrophysical importance. Continued observations are encouraged.
