  We present time-resolved photometry of V1494 Aql (Nova Aql 1999 No. 2:
http://www.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/Novae/v1494aql.html) between 2001
November and 2003 June. The object is confirmed to be an eclipsing nova with a
period of 0.1346138(2) d. The eclipses were present in all observed epochs. The
orbital light curve shows a rather unusual profile, consisting of a bump-like
feature at phase 0.6-0.7 and a dip-like feature at phase 0.2-0.4. These
features were probably persistently present in all available observations
between 2001 and 2003. A period analysis outside the eclipses has confirmed
that these variations have a period common to the orbital period, and are
unlikely interpreted as superhumps. We suspect that structure (probably in the
accretion disk) fixed in the binary rotational frame is somehow responsible for
this feature.
