RX Cha: definitely an SU UMa-type dwarf nova

   Peter Nelson has reported time-resolve photometry of the current
outburst.  The data clearly show the presence of superhumps with
amplitude of 0.25 mag.  The period was close to 2.0 hours, confirming
the claimed long superhump period.  Further continued observations
are strongly encouraged to determine the superhump period.
