MASTER OT J004355.89+413209.9 discovery - OT in M31 direction
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 43m 55.89s +41d 32m 09.9s on 2018-06-20.98169 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 19.0m (limit 19.6m).
There are 5 images with OT.
There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2018-05-04 00:18:30 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.0m .
There was AT2017ixs (RA,Dec=00:43:56.00+41:32:11.30) at 2017-12-15 17:45:58 UT in history.
Spectral observations are required.
