Identifications:
SDSS J005050.88+000912.7 (see Stanek's message above)
USNO-B1.0 0901-0009245 (B1= 20.17, B2= 20.61, R2= 20.02 mag)
GSC2.3 NB4X006018 (F= 20.49, j= 21.31 mag)
GALEX J005050.8+000913 (FUV= 21.82, NUV= 21.26 mag)
Orbital period and outburst amplitude (> 7 mag) are typical for a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
Time-resolved photometry is urgently required.
Clear skies,
