Discovery of an SU UMa-type eclipsing cataclysmic variable star inside the CV "period gap''

IBVS 6097 on a recently discovered eclipsing cataclysmic variable

We report the discovery of CzeV404 - eclipsing SU UMa-type cataclysmic variable star with an orbital period inside the period gap. Using photometric observations taken during 15 nights from June to September 2012 and 8 nights from July to August 2013 we determined an orbital period of 2.35 hours and superhump period of 2.50 hours. From the observed period excess, theestimated mass ratio of the system is q = 0.30.
