Dear Colleagues,

So far We've received further data from Maehara-san, Nakajima-san,
Berto Monard and Gianluca Masi.

As suggested by Gianluca Masi, the superhump period has become shorter 
than yesterday. We confirmed this, with a rate of P(dot)/Psh = -100*10^{-5}
(usual SU UMa stars, P(dot)/Psh = -5*10^{-5}). Concerning the obtained value,
as well as the intrinsic inactivity of the variable, we should continue observing
as possible as we can.

The mean superhump period is 0.07979(4) days. 

If you succeeded in observing EG Aqr, please contact us.

Best Regards,
Akira Imada
