Abstract
We present the results of a search for the donor star in the high inclination SU UMa type cataclysmic variable IY UMa. We detect absorption features in the near infrared consistent with an M type dwarf donor star. Using the skew mapping technique to exploit the velocity information provided by the 8183-8194 Angstrom Na I absorption doublet, we locate the absorption at the expected donor velocity of IY UMa.
