   According to Pavol Dubovsky, UV Per was fading rapidly on Jan. 15.
During this fading branch, clear superhumps (stage C superhumps
with a shorter period) were recorded.  The feature is similar to
what was observed (by the same observer!) duirng the 2007 October
superoutburst.

   Recent observations.  A rebrightening may be expected.
