WZ Sge: 9-th rebrightening at maximum

Dear Colleagues,

    The most recent data from D. Starkey clearly shows that WZ Sge stays
at its maximum of the 9-th rebrightening.  Time-series analysis (combined
with the data from J. Pietz) shows the main humps at phase 0.7-0.8, which
occurs earlier than before.  A negative phase shift or a new feature?
Two dip-like minima are seen, at the predicted eclipse times and phase 0.4.
The overall light curve is very complex.

    Starkey's data show a slight tendency to fade.  We may expect the 10-th
rebrightening within 1.5 d.
