MASTER OT J105824.56-351922.9 discovery - dwarf nova outburst, ampl>5.5m

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 10h 58m 24.56s -35d 19m 22.9s on 2017-04-19.09413 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.7m (mlim=19.8m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-03-05 21:35:42UT with mlim=19.6 (MASTER-SAAO), on 2016-10-28.35589 UT with 18.9 unfiltered magnitude limit(MASTER-OAFA).
There is GSC2.3.2 star in 0.4" with only blue j=22.16m, it means more then 5.5m of current outburst amplitude.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at:

MASTER OT J065752.08-632622.6 detection - possib.dwarf nova outburst, ampl>2.2m

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) detected OT source at (RA, Dec) = 06h 57m 52.08s -63d 26m 22.6s on 2017-03-30.82825 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.8m (mlim=21.0).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2014-12-21.95277 UT with unfiltered mlim=20.6m.
There is GSC2.3.2 star in 0.9" with known only blue jmag=21.58, it means 22mag POSS limit in history and more then 2.2mag of current outburst amplitude (MASTER W=0.2B+0.8R calibrated by USNO-B1)
Spectral observations are required.
