MASTER OT J170147.31+054540.1 detection - outburst with ampl>3.1m

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 17h 01m 47.31s +05d 45m 40.1s on 2018-05-06.23063 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.4m (mlim=18.0m).
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2018-04-16 03:50:46UT with unfilt.mlim=19.1 (MASTER-IAC), on 2017-09-02.01481 UT with unfilt.magnitude limit 18.6m (MASTER-OAFA). There is USNO-B1 star with B2=20.74,R2=20.44, it means more then 3.1 ampl of current outburst (MASTER W=0.2B+0.8R calibrated by USNO-B1)
Spectral observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at:
