MASTER OT J224524.92+211742.0 detection - outburst with ampl>7m

AT2020ray
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 22h 45m 24.92s +21d 17m 42.0s on 2020-08-10.10981 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.0m (mlim=18.1).
The OT is seen in 2 images at morning of 10th Aug and on 2 images at evening (automatic unfiltered 17.3+-0.1). There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2015-10-06.91876 UT with unfiltered mlim= 20.0m.
There is only Sloan star in VIZIER database inside 5" (in 0.26") with rmag=24.368 (close to MASTER unfiltered). It means more then 7mag of current outburst amplitude.
Spectral observations are required.
