MASTER OT J054905.59+582507.4 detection - outburst with ampl>2m and duration less then 39h

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05h 49m 05.59s +58d 25m 07.4s on 2020-03-04.89435 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.7m (mlim=18.7).
The OT is seen in 2 images in a bright state.
MASTER automatic photometry is the following:
2010-09-20 21:59:43 m_OT~mlim=18.9 MASTER-Kislovodsk
....
2020-03-03 20:56:31 m_OT~mlim=19.1 MASTER-Kislovodsk
2020-03-03 22:25:30 mlim=18.6 (no OT) MASTER-IAC
2020-03-04 01:16:59 mlim=18.0 (no OT) MASTER-Tavrida
2020-03-04 18:15:29 mlim=17.0 (no OT) MASTER-Amur
2020-03-04 21:27:52 m_OT=17.3 MASTER-Kislovodsk
2020-03-04 21:37:54 m_OT=17.3 MASTER-Kislovodsk
2020-03-05 16:53:22 m_OT~mlim=19.0 MASTER-Kislovodsk

There are a lot of images with m_OT~19.0, for example on 2015-10-18.96833 UT with unfiltered mlim=19.8m (and m_OT~19.0).
Spectral observations are required.
