MASTER OT J172202.29-645431.0 discovery - new OT, preliminary dwarf nova outburst with ampl>4.8m
AT2021xha
https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2021xha
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 17h 22m 02.29s -64d 54m 31.0s on 2021-08-31.06731 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.2m (mlim=18.6).
The OT is seen in 10 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
There is no any sources in VIZIER database inside 5" (22m POSS limit), it means >4.8m of current outburst amplitude (MASTER unfiltered m is calibrated for USNO-B1 as 0.2B+0.8R)
There is previous outburst of this OT in MASTER database at 2019-01-16 08:33:40UT (17.8m)
We have reference image on 2020-06-10.24444 UT with unfiltered mlim=18.9m.

MASTER OT J234518.89-443917.6 discovery - preliminary dwarf nova outburst with ampl>3.9
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 23h 45m 18.89s -44d 39m 17.6s on 2021-09-03.22046 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.1m (mlim=20.2).
The OT is seen in 4 images (2021-09-03 05:14:08/06:00:45,the same magnitude). There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2021-08-14.27042 UT with unfiltered mlimit=20.3, at 2021-08-31 07:32:23UT with mlim=19.8.
There is no sources at POSS images. There is only DES source in VIZIER with rmag=20.98
