IX Dra has a superoutburst period of around 60 days – give or take a day. This means the next superoutburst is likely to be around September 5 -7th.  The most recent magnitude I have is around 17.7 CV (on 2459456.5 Aug 30)  using SLOOH Canary 2. Further observations to capture the start of the superoutburst would be welcome.
