The well-developed typical superhumps with amplitude 0.25 mag on the first night and 0.15 mag on the last night have period 60.6 min. Taking into account value of 59 min. for the orbital period given by Augusteijn et al (A&A, 311, 889) the period excess is 2.7%. Arkadiusz Olech olech@sirius.astrouw.edu.pl
