MASTER OT J162250.41-482250.3 discovery - outburst with amplitude >5m

During LIGO/Virgo S190923y (LVC GCN #25814)
inspection by MASTER Global Robotic Net (GCN #25812, GCN #25855)
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 16h 22m 50.41s -48d 22m 50.3s on 2019-09-26.80632 UT (AT 2019rfj).

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.0m (mlim=18.6).
The OT is seen on 2 images on 2019-09-26 19:33:10, 19:21:06UT in MASTER-SAAO
and on 4 images on 2019-09-27 00:12:12-00:30:55 in MASTER-OAFA.

There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference images on 2019-09-23.89472 UT (nearest in time) with unfiltered mlim=18.2m,
on 2018-07-18 19:59:48UT with mlim=19.0.

There is no optical sources in USNO-B1 (22m limit in history and >5m of current outburst ampl), the nearest optical source is Gaia one in 2.8" and Vista one in 2.2"
Spectral observations are required.
