MASTER OT J152724.06-482247.8 discovery - ampl>6.5m
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 15h 27m 24.06s -48d 22m 47.8s on 2019-05-17.33909 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.5m (mlim=16.8m).
The OT is seen in 6 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2018-09-11.09465 UT with mlim=17.9m.
There is no sources in USNO-B1, that means 22m POSS limit in history and more then 6.5m of current outburst amplitude
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J135419.39-385131.1 detection - outburst with ampl>3m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 13h 54m 19.39s -38d 51m 31.1s on 2019-05-19.98034 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.7m (mlim=18.0).
The OT is seen in 5 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference images on 2017-06-29.91308 UT with unfiltered mlim= 19.5m, on 2019-01-06 00:08:36Ut with mlim=19.7 (MASTER-SAAO, that gives more then 3m of current outburst amplitude), on 2019-04-14 02:08:11UT with mlim=18.6 (MASTER-OAFA)
There is USNO-B1 star with known B2=20.3, R1=19.9
It was also detected by ATLAS and ASAS, but as SN submitted to TNS (ATLAS19imc), but this is CV , to be a superluminous SN it had to be brighter our 18.6 limit on 2019-04-14.
Spectral observations are required.
