MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 04h 19m 34.57s -54d 59m 03.4s on 2022-08-23.14338 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.0m (mlim=18.2).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have >6000 reference unfiltered images in the same photometrical system (MASTER has identical equipment) since 2014-12-27 without previous outbursts registration, for ex.:

We reobserved it at MASTER-OAFA at 2022-08-23 06:42:28UT (in 3 hours) with mOT=17.9.

There is a source with gmag=24.6,rmag=24.2 in VIZIER database (DES data release). This OT is in 222.3"W, 167.3"S from the center of NGC 1566.
Spectral observations and photometry are required.
