[vsnet-alert 1529] MM Hya Success



Dear colleagues,

Tonigh we observed cataclysmic variable MM Hya with unfiltered CCD
camera ST-7 attached on 0.4m Newtonian telescope for about 5.76 hours.
Preliminary results are clear. Detected superhumps have period aprox.
P=(0.0589 +- 0.0002)d (Thanx to Tonny Vanmunster for period
determination routines) and mean amplitude 0.16 mag.
There is also clearly visible linear fading which was not substracvted
from dataset yet.
Other observation are very important 'cause it seems that star is fading
from superoutburst.

With best regards

Rudolf
