    I worried about the cycle count for sdss0137-09, since the unfavorable sky
    position means no one can get long runs on it.  But in the first day and a
    half. we have excellent runs from South Africa (Pretorius, Warner),
    Australia (Bolt) and AZ (Armstrong, Halpern, Katz).  So the alias demon is
    demon is beaten (Psh =81.6+-0.3 min), and the superhumps are really
    impressive - smooth as a baby's bottom, and of very large amplitude.  Time
    to settle in for the long haul on this shiny new dwarf nova!
    
    Other targets unchanged.  Bill Allen and Ton Richards are working on AH
    Men - I hope that others can join the campaign on this very rewarding
    star.
