Dear colleagues, A quick reply on Kato's message below (I have to leave the observatory for a few hours now, a more detailed analysis will follow later today). The rebrightening of 1RXS J232953.9+062814, that started on Nov 09/10, clearly has developed into a superoutburst again, as I can derive from last night's observations (Nov 10/11) at CBA Belgium Observatory. I was able to track the object for 6.2 hours under perfect skies. The resulting light curve is truly impressive, showing again 0.2 - 0.25 mag superhumps, superimposed by more or less complex humps. Overall, there was also a definite fading trend. I will further analyse the data, and distribute them later tonight. Please continue monitoring this object !
