    Dear CBAers,
    
    A new eclipsing superhumper in outburst - outstanding!  Definitely the 
    object for urgent morning attention this week.  Make the time series as 
    long as possible, and follow the object as long as possible down towards 
    quiescence (so white light is fine, as usual).
    
    First one of these in a long time!

    Hi there,
    Confirmation of the UGSU+E nature of this target.
    The eclipse I found on March 31 (data sent to
    the CBA) did correspond to an orbital eclipse.
    Tentative orbital period P_orb = 0.0795(3) though
    more data is clearly needed to refine this value.
    See comments below.

    Enrique,
