MASTER-Amur robotic telescope has detected an outburst of this dwarf
nova selected by Wils et al. (arXiv:0910.3218).

SDSS J131432.10+444138.7
  20120821.538  15.79C  MASTER-Amur

CRTS light curve is showing two outburst in last 7.5 years - one in
June 2007 and the other in March 2010.

Star was also detected in outburst during Sloan Survey observations (I
guess run 3818 means JD=2453818, which in turn is 2006 Mar. 23),
that's why its SDSS magnitudes are very bright:
u=15.10 g=15.08 r=15.26 i=15.44 z=15.62

Unfortunately the star is poorly located at the moment, being close to
the Sun in the evening sky (elongation 52 degrees). More or less
suitable observing conditions can be found in the high Northern
latitudes where the object is formally circumpolar.
