ER Uma was at quite dim last night at 15.0 V mag. It is also approaching time for the next superoutburst as the last one started around JD 2459338. With a super outburst period of 55 +_ 5 days, this minimum may be the last before a normal outburst triggers the superoutburst. A few extra observations in the next 5 days could capture the event nicely.

Thanks in advance.
