USNO 1425.09823278 [UGSU, 13.3R - 19.9R]
========================================

Joe Patterson, Center for Backyard Astrophysics, New York reports a 
precise superhump period determination for this new UGSU-type 
cataclysmic variable : "I put together all the CBA Belgium and 
CBA Denmark data of this object -obtained between JD 705 and 711- 
and found a unique superhump period of high precision, namely 
0.05672 +/- 0.00006 d.  
There might be a secondary signal in the power spectrum too, which 
will be further checked when additional CBA observations become 
available. The full amplitude was 0.05 mag."
