Dear colleagues, I have now made my Aug 24/25 observations of WZ Sge available on-line at my web site. The data were obtained under very clear and stable skies. The run started at about 19:50 UT and continued for 7.1 hours, without interruptions. I was using 20 sec (unfiltered) exposure times. The resulting light curve is quite impressive and reveals a quick fading of the variable (0.27 mag in approx. 7 hours, or about 0.9 m/d), clear double-peaked superhumps, and multiple well-pronounced dips, mostly in the declining branch of the superhumps. The eclipses are the deep dips, immediately following the second superhump peak. Interesting to see how the overall profile of the light curve has been changing compared to previous nights.
