VZ Pyx superhump period

   Nakajima-san and Kiyota-san have reported observations of VZ Pyx.
The best superhump period determined from the three-night observation
is 0.07596(2) d.  This period is longer than obtained during the
1996 superoutburst (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1997PASJ...49..481K).
The present superhump period gives a larger fractional superhump excess
of 3.6%.  Further observations are encouraged.
