We report the following transients discovered by Pan-STARRS1 during a targeted search of the Kepler Campaign 16 field as part of the K2
Extragalactic Survey (KEGS) for Transients (see http://www.mso.anu.edu.au/kegs/ ).
Information on the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients is available at http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/ps1threepi/ (see Huber et al. ATel #7153). The objects, including Pan-STARRS lightcurve and finder are available at this link.
