MASTER OT J110230.30+553555.5 discovery - PSN in 1" of SDSS J110230.41+553555.1 galaxy
MASTER-Tavrida auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 02m 30.30s +55d 35m 55.5s on 2018-05-25.79944 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.3m (limit 19.0m).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
This PSN is in 1" of SDSS galaxy with rmag=19.72
We have reference images without OT on 2017-07-24.79946 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.2m, on 2018-04-04 21:33:01 with mlim=18.9.
Spectral observations are required.
