   Surprizingly, no solid publication exists on the superhump observation
of CU Vel.  Although the present outburst may be yet premature to determine
its nature, the long lack of outbursts preceding this outburst may suggest
a superoutburst.  Please make intensive time-series observations to
obtain the (potentially first) full coverage of an outburst of this object.

   The generally adopted superhump period is 0.07999 d.  This period would
be a good measure for the required minimal length (2-3 superhump periods)
of the nightly runs.
