TY PsA superhumps

   Nakajima-san further reported time-series observations.  Based on
three-night observations, we obtained a superhump period of 0.08789(2) d,
which is longer than previously reported (Warner et al. 1989 MNRAS 238, 73).
The difference may be a result of difference in the observed stages of
outbursts (Warner et al. apparently observed the final stage of
a superoutburst).  Further observations are encouraged to follow the
evolution of superhumps and their periods.
