TU Crt [UG, 12.1 - ?]
=====================

Joe Patterson, Columbia University, CBA New York, communicates :
"Further CCD photometry data on TU Crt, obtained between March 31
and April 1 UT, by a number of CBA stations, show large superhumps
(0.25 mag). Based on these observations, we derived a superhump 
period of 0.0850+-0.0003 d, basically confirming the announcement
in CVC 164. 
Contributors were Greg Bolt (Perth), Dave Harvey (Tucson), and 
Darragh O'Donoghue (South Africa)."
