It sounds plausible to me that this is a superoutburst triggered by a
normal outburst. According to Hellier one can often see a slight
hiatus before the superoutburst brightens to maximum. Is that what we
see in the light curve around 00:45 UT on March 19? (See the light
curve at the AAVSO web site or on my web page at
http://asp.jm-data.no/geke15obs/#18.03.2005 around JD 2453448.53).

Also, on March 20 the star brightened with about 0.15 mag during a 9
hour run. Tonight there seems to be a slight decrease in brightness
but the decrease is much slower than two days ago, about 0.003
mag/hour compared to 0.03 mag/hour, which might also indicate a
superoutburst. Tonight the mean magnitude is about 11.9, and I get a
sumperhump period of 0.0573 days with mean amplitude of 0.13 using
Peranso.
