As reported in [vsnet-campaign-dn 3590], Var73 Dra, an unusual SU UMa-type dwarf nova in the period gap, experienced an superoutburst in April. Nyrola team kindly sent us their 2 night data sets on April 18/19 and 22/23. Combined this data with Kyoto data sets, the outburst continued at least from April 15 to April 27. The magnitude was gradually decrining from ~15.3 mag to 16.1~mag during 12 d with the averaged rate of 0.06 mag/d. Anyway, recent four superoutburst including this one show the unusually short supercycle of ~60 d. Regards, Ryoko Ishioka
