MASTER OT J170814.73-190558.3 discovery - CV?
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 17h 08m 14.73s -19d 05m 58.3s on 2018-05-12.37420 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.9m (mlim=18.2m).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-09-16.05681 UT with magnitude limit in 'BLANK' filter 18.4m.
Spectral observations are required.
