T. Vanmunster performed CCD observations on IX Dra whose another outburst was reported on October 25 by M. Reszelski and the resulting real-time light curve clearly shows the presence of a 0.22 mag modulation, to be attributed to superhumps (vsnet-campaign 551). Based on his 6.45hr observation, the superhump period is calculated to be 0.068d. (vsnet-campaign 551). As reported by T. Kinnunen, the September outburst lasted at least for four days, which might suggest another superoutburst. If the September outburst was a genuine superoutburst, the interval of subsequent superoutbursts becomes as short as 49 d, which is pretty close to that of ER UMa (vsnet-campaign 553).
