MASTER OT J152915.84-344746.7 discovery - very bright (13.0 mag) high amplitude (>7.6mag) outburst

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 15h 29m 15.84s -34d 47m 46.7s on 2017-04-20 05:37:30 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 13.0m (mlim=18.9m). The OT is seen in 3 image (05:37:30, 05:48:11 ,05:58:57) with m_OT=13.0, it means not UVCet. There is unfiltered image on 2017-04-17 04:58:30UT with mlim=16.4, it means as minimum 3.4mag of amplitude less then during 3 days , it means not red giant, it means outburst.
There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference images without OT on 2016-09-25.00861 UT with 18.9 unfiltered magnitude limit, and on 2016-06-08 21:10:23 with mlim=20.6.

Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J152635.52-215418.7 discovery - dwarf nova outburst, ampl>4.2m

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 15h 26m 35.52s -21d 54m 18.7s on 2017-04-20.31506 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.8m (mlim=18.6m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
There is USNO-B1 star in 0.7" with known ast that time only blue B2=21.92 (and red limit 22mag. MASTER W=0.2B+0.8R using USNO-B1) , it means the Ampl of current outburst is more then 4.2mag . There is also GALEX source in 2.7" - accretion process, i.e.dwarf nova.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-07-11.07749 UT with 19.2 unfiltered magnitude limit
Spectral observations are required.
