M. Templeton, AAVSO, reports that a new deeply-eclipsing cataclysmic variable (possibly of the AM-Her subtype) located at R.A. = 7h11m25s.99, Decl. = +44o04'05".0 (equinox 2000.0) has been posted by the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) on 2008 Dec. 31, and the outburst has been two months long according to CSS data. The period derived from two days of time-series data submitted to the AAVSO indicates a period of 0.0813 days. Intensive time-series observations submitted to the AAVSO by A. Oksanen, D. Boyd, and R. Pickard have confirmed the very deep eclipses of about four magnitudes, along with a very well defined light curve typical of edge-on accreting systems. Additional time-series photometry, along with multicolor photometry and long-term visual monitoring, are urgently requested for this interesting variable star. At maximum, the unfiltered magnitude (with a V comparison star mag) is around 14.8, and eclipses seem to be dropping the magnitude to as low as 19 or fainter. Templeton adds that H. Maehara has noted that a very blue USNO-B1.0-catalogue star has position end figures 26s.01, 05".5.
