MASTER004617.94+415626.1 discovery - possible Nova in M31
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 46m 17.94s +41d 56m 26.1s on 2017-06-19.19669 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.4 on 2017-06-18 04:40:55.321UT(limit 19.8m), m_OT=18.4 on 2017-06-19 04:39:15.299UT .
The OT is seen in 7 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-06-17.18755 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 21.0m.
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J134847.94-420705.2 discovery - CV, Ampl>5.2m

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 13h 48m 47.94s -42d 07m 05.2s on 2017-06-18.01884 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (mlim=19.2m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-04-09.03564 UT with 19.0 unfiltered magnitude limit.
There is only GSC2.3 star with blue jmag=22.31, it means more then 5.2m of current outburst amplitude
Spectral observations are required.
