Dear Arto and Jeremy,

The tentative ephemeris I circulated earlier today

JD 2453648.33832 + 0.10013E

predicts that the eclipses you both saw should be at

JD 2453649.23949 = 17:45UT
JD 2453649.33962 = 20:09UT

Looks like we are close to that. We should eventually be able to get a very 
accurate measure of Porb.

There is clearly a change in the position of maximum light relative to the 
orbital period between my observation and Arto's. Are we seeing superhumps?

Total cloud here tonight unfortunately.

Regards
David
