Here's my take on the menu tonight...

Seems to be still bright and superhumping beautifully.

We still don't know if it's a supermax... and we have pretty good 
coverage of a previous supermax. So I'd give this one lower points.

We've tried hard on this one, and basically always failed (i.e. never 
found credible periodic signals).  So this one is quite a long shot

I think the eruption's over.

For a bright star tonight, I recommend V592 Cas.  It's the right season 
and the right lunar phase!

Tougher objects, all around 17, are Cep 1 = GD 552, V455 And = 
HS2331+3905, and FS Aur.  We need to get the new season's campaign going 
on FS Aur - although, since the period is 3.5 hours, it calls for some
commitment (since you definitely need to go for a cycle).
