the object has a superhump period of ~0.048(1)d. This period of 69 min is below the period minimum. This value and the strong helium-rich spectrum, which we reported to ATel, suggest that this object is an EI Psc-type object showing a WZ Sge-type superoutburst. Such an event is very rare. Further observations are encouraged.

Moriyama-san, Stephen, Funada-san, Peter Starr and Itoh-san reported the observation. According to the data from the last three days, the object has a superhump period of ~0.048(1)d. Further observations during this phase are very important. The current magnitude is ~14mag.
