MASTER OT J150316.62-421827.5 - CV?
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 15h 03m 16.62s -42d 18m 27.5s on 2015-01-08.07747 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.3m (limit 18.9m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-01-01.09128 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.2m.
Follow up observations are required.
