I have had a request for spectra of this star from Prof Subo Dong of the ASSASN team. This star was not thought to be variable but has brightened by suddenly by ~3 mag to ~ mag 12. I plan to try tonight but I have thin high cloud currently.

A Spectrum in poor conditions (thin cloud) shows a blue continuum with weak H Beta H gamma absorption lines and no detectable H alpha

A similar result with my LISA. Conditions here were also poor with thin high cloud reducing flux. A subsequent email from Tonny Vanmunster to the CBA group reported observing superhumps and suggested this was an AM CVn type dwarf nova.

And minutes later my similar results with my LISA from half way across the world from David:) Skies were clear for the observation.

It looks like we have good agreement
I have uploaded a longer exposure version of my spectrum to TNS and the BAA database and pointed the ASASSN team to the spectra posted here.
Thanks
Robin
