BF Ara new data from Greg Bolt

Dear Colleagues,

    We have received new data of BF Ara from Greg Bolt.  Although the
sky was bright due to the moon, superhumps are still clearly present.
Greg reports that the object faded by 0.1 mag compared to the previous
night.

    An analysis of the combined data has yielded a superhump period of
0.0881 d, which is slightly longer than the single-night determination.
It may be possible that BF Ara is experiencing a stage of rapid period
evolution.  Further nightly observations are very strongly encouraged.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
