Wow, this is great stuff! WZ Sge out at that long period are GOLD! Keep up the great work. Much longer message coming tonight or tomorrow.

Dear all,

  You are all getting nice data sets on this new object. Bravo!

Not much time now for a much detailed analysis, but all indicates
that this is a WZ Sge star (clear double-humped superhumps)
but with a relatively long period, 0.07548(3) d -actually, one of
longest of the WZ Sge family. Could this object be one of those
elusive period bouncers -old objects that have evolved past the
minimum of the Porb distribution? For this, we'll need to estimate
the mass ratio, something that one can infer after measuring
the excess superhump period. In other words, keep the pressure
on this target .....
