MASTER OT J030057.16-662523.1 discovery - ampl>2.8m

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 03h 00m 57.16s -66d 25m 23.1s on 2018-01-11.89176 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.2m (mlim=20.1).
The OT is seen in 9 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2015-10-18.99694 UT with unfiltered mlim= 19.9m.
There is GSC2.3.2 star, POSS 22m limit gives ampl>2.8m
Spectral observations are required.
