MASTER OT J211135.76-345242.9 discovery - possibly dwarf nova outburst, ampl>5m
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 21h 11m 35.76s -34d 52m 42.9s on 2018-07-20.22941 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.0m (mlim=18.9m).
The OT is seen in 14 images (2018-07-20 05:26:38.874-07:53:09.781 UT).
We have reference image without OT on 2017-08-28.06878 UT with 19.8 unfiltered magnitude limit. There is no OT inside 3". There is WISE source in 4.2". USNO-B1 limit gives more then 5m of current outburst amplitude (MASTER W=0.2B+0.8R by USNO-B1 thousands field stars).
Spectral observations are required.
