MASTER OT J203533.66-260924.0 discovery - possible dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>5.2mag
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 349171 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 35m 33.66s -26d 09m 24.0s on 2016-03-12.11795 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.8m (the limit is 19.0m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-07-12.82984 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.3m.
There is no known sources in VIZIER database (it means 22mag POSS limit, etc), but you can see very faint marginally seen non-catalogued source in blue POSS images, so we suggest the dwarf nova outburst with >5.2mag amplitude.
Spectral observations are required.
