Description
During 2006 May the first confirmed superoutburst of the dwarf nova V337 Cygni was observed using unfiltered CCD photometry. The outburst reached a peak magnitude of 15.2 on May 22 and lasted 13 days before the object returned to quiescence at around magnitude 20. Time-series photometry revealed superhumps with a period of 0.07012 +/- 0.00033d and amplitude 0.1 magnitude, thereby establishing for the first time its UGSU classification. Astrometry of V337 Cyg in outburst determined an accurate position and enabled the identity of the star in quiescence to be confirmed.
