OT_J102146.4+234926 further brightening

    We have started tonight observation of this WZ Sge candidate 
with a 25-cm telescope and the KANATA 1.5-m telescope.  
We find that the object is further brightening:

20061121.83438   14.420 +/- 0.005 C   superhumps detected
20061127.81359   16.036 +/- 0.007 C   faded
20061128.83461   14.840 +/- 0.006 C   rebrightening !
20061129.81038   14.884 +/- 0.031 C   rebrightening continues.
20061130.87326   14.546 +/- 0.011 C   further brightening !

In conjunction with the lack of large amplitude short-term 
variations, the light curve is quite analogous to that in 
AL Com in 1995. 

The object is clearly detected in infrared images now obtained 
with the KANATA 1.5-m telescope.
