MASTER OT J002844.97+233329.3 discovery - OT during GRB180113B (IPN) inspection

During GRB180113B (IPN triangulation) inspection (Svinkin et al. GCN #22354, IPN map )
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 28m 44.97s +23d 33m 29.3s on 2018-01-14.64970 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.3m (limit 19.8m)
The OT is seen in 2 images (MASTER IPN inspection mode) at
2018-01-14 15:35:34UT +180s exposition
2018-01-14 15:51:47UT +180s exposition
There is no minor planet at this place.

MASTER-Kislovodsk reobserved it automatically on 2018-01-16 15:32:23UT with m_lim=20.1(no OT). We have reference image without OT on 2014-09-30.90519 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.5m.

There is Sloan disk galaxy in 1.48" with rmag=20.08
Deep photometry is required.
