I updated the CBAT TOCP follow up with mine and Umberto's observation.

Sent you, François. Thanks.

A missing information, the spectrum is composed by 4 x 960s exposure frames.

Well done Umberto. I also observed the DN on June 12. An important rebrightening helped us to continue the observations. Rebrightenings are also indicators of the WZ Sge membership (but there was no doubt considering the high amplitude outburst).

I performed a relatively long session to try and follow with photometry the small flux oscillations (superhumps) typical of this class stars. I covered about two cycles.

The DN lightcurve (SXV-H9, Mak 90 scope, V band filter Baader, 88 x 120s frames):

The flux oscillates about 0.07 mag around mean value 12.49. I used the latter value to calibrate the spectrum in absolute flux. On the top of graph I reported the spectroscopic coverage (11 x 960s frames).

In addition to h-beta and h-gamma, the profile show the He I 4471 broad absorption line.
