1.9hrs of unfiltered photometry of this blue (g=20.10, r=20.06) object 
in the
SDSS catalogue showed apparent superhumps with period about 0.063d and 
amplitude
0.04 mag. Mean magnitude was 14.09C.

This appears to be a previously unknown SU UMa type dwarf nova in a 6 mag
superoutburst.

Regards,
David Boyd
