MASTER OT J011146.67-810821.2 discovery - possible dwarf nova with ampl>4.4m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 01h 11m 46.67s -81d 08m 21.2s on 2017-07-14.07693 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.6m (mlim=20.0).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2016-09-23.90785 UT with unfiltered mlim= 20.4m.
There is GSC2.3 star in 0.4" with only blue jmag=21.7, it means more then 4.4m of current outburst ampl.
Spectral observations are required.
