PU Per observation from Donn Starkey (2)

Dear Colleagues,

   Donn Starkey has just sent us a prelimiary light curve.  Although
there is no distinct superhumps, small-amplitude variations are likely
present.  These variations may be QPOs or may be related to the growing
stage of superhumps.  There was no general tendency of fading during
the received run.  Since there is usually a delay of 2-7 d before full
superhumps appear in large-amplitude SU UMa-type dwarf novae, the present
finding is not surprising if the outburst indeed turns out to be a
superoutburst.  Further detailed observations are most strongly wanted.

Regards,
