[vsnet-alert 12144] Re: OT_J234440.5-001206 = MLS transient

[Gianluca Masi]

Dear Colleagues,

after a run 2.8 hours long I can conclude this is a new SU UMa star. I 
estimated the Psh= 1.93 hours, while the amplitude is of about 0.2 
magnitudes.

Data have been sent to Kyoto for further analysis.

Best,
Gianluca
