Proposal

LL And in rare outburst now (about 14 mag). The amplitude of the superhumps is increasing: now it is about 0.25 mag. Time-resolved photometry (best with exposures of 60 seconds) for next weeks required: with V filter or unfiltered with a duration of 5 or more hours every night.

About the uniqueness of this system - from the paper "1993 Superoutburst of LL Andromedae" https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004PASJ...56S.135K : "LL And may be an object filling the gap in the evolutionary track, which has recently been proposed to explain the unusual ultracompact binaries with an evolved mass donor".

I will upload the data to the AAVSO International Database and will send to VSNET (information is available there: "More continuous follow-up observations are needed to explore its nature!").

With best regards,

Filipp.

There was some error in converting coordinates from J2000 to J2000d. Correct position: 00 41 51.47 +26 37 21.1 (10.46446 +26.62253) - from the VSX.

Filipp:

Committed to large scope (TMO61). In SG filter at 60 second exposures for 6 hours. Tell me how it goes?

Thank you, Kenneth, these parameters should be fine.
