Hi All,
After finding the alert, I made yesterday evening an observation of this star with a 25cm newton f4.7 and QHY 268M camera with a photometric V filter. At the end of the observation run the altitude neared 30degrees, so I stopped.
This is the curve of it, no outliers were removed. Used the sequence that can be found at the AAVSO. Observations are reported there too : [image: figure_TCP J08374922+0134065.png]

TCP J08374922+0134065: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with large early superhump amplitude
TCP J08374922+0134065 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 3rd April at 14.7 mag. Based on the suggested counterpart (GALEX J083749.2+013407) with g=20.22(2) and the brightest ASAS-SN measurement with g~13.4 mag, the outburst amplitude is 6.8mag. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J08374922+0134065.html

Itoh-san has reported the time-resolved observations on 6th April and the light curve shows a double-peaked modulation with a period of ~0.059 d and an amplitude of 0.2 mag with possible eclipses. Thus TCP J08374922+0134065 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with high inclination. Time-resolved observations are strongly encouraged.
Best regards, Yusuke
