OT J223418.5-035530: SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a long superhump period

   Greg Bolt has reported observations of this SU UMa-type dwarf nova.
The data clearly show superhumps with a period of 0.0920(4) d, suggesting
that the object is at the shortest end of the period gap.

   Based on this period, we have selected an alias of 0.09214(6) d for
the 2009 superoutburst (cf. vsnet-alert 11480).  Further observations
are encouraged to confirm this identification.
