We report on follow-up spectroscopy and photometry of the cataclysmic variable candidate HS 0907+1902 selected from the Hamburg Quasar Survey. B, V, and R photometry obtained during the first observed outburst of HS 0907+1902 (V≃13) reveals deep eclipses (ΔV≃2.1-2.8) and an orbital period P_orb=4.2h with the eclipse depth decreasing to the red. The outburst eclipse profiles are symmetric, indicating an axisymmetrical brightness distribution in the accretion disc. We derive an inclination i≃73°-79° from the eclipse duration. The quiescent spectrum obtained with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope shows double peaked emission lines of HI, HeI and FeI,II and clearly identifies the system as a dwarf nova. Absorption features of the secondary star are detected at red wavelengths from which a spectral class M3±1.5 and a distance of d=320±100pc are derived.
