  Most recent observations (March 1) by Nakajima-san apparently show
enhanced ordinary superhumps whose amplitudes once decayed to
about 0.1 mag.  The object has even brightened by 0.08 mag during
the last four days.  These results seem to indicate that the superoutburst
plateau is coming to an end.  The object may start fading rapidly within
a day or two.  Time-resolved photometry is still highly wanted to
follow the development of late superhumps during such a WZ Sge-type
superoutburst.
