HT Cas: low-amplitude humps?

   Maehara-san and Pavol A. Dubovsky have reported observations last night.
The object was gradually fading at a mean rate of 0.2 mag/d.
The eclipse occurred about 3 min earlier than the predictions in
vsnet-alert 12344.
   There were some indications of low-amplitude humps between eclipses
(outside the expected phase of the orbital humps).  An approximate
period of 0.0762(2) d may be present (mean amplitude 0.03 mag).
These humps may be very young stage superhumps.
Further observations are very strongly encouraged!
