USNO 1425.09823278

   Recent reports suggest that the variable has entered a stage of rapid
decline.  Several observers report by CCD photometry the possible existence
of superhumps.  Observers should note in some SU UMa stars, superhumps
may once decay during the plateau stage and may become prominent again
even during the rapid decline, often showing double waves probably consisting
of usual superhumps and late superhumps.  A good such example was observed
during the 1991 December - 1992 January superoutbrust of UV Per.  Rudolf
Novak's report suggests the superhump signal still persists.  Follow-up
observations are still highly encouraged until the object finally fades
away.  Be prepared for rebrightening(s)!
