MASTER OT J143130.76+593939.7 discovery - QSO flare
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 31m 30.76s +59d 39m 39.7s on 2017-12-27.21784 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.8m (limit 18.9m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference images without OT on 2017-10-08 02:01:47UT with mlim=18.4mag (MASTER-Kislovodsk), on 2016-05-07.11008 UT with 20.4mag unfiltered magnitude limit (MASTER-IAC).
Spectral observations are required.
