The MASTER auto-detection system at Tunka (Baykal Lake) detected a new transient source at the position (R.A., Dec) = 17h 29m 00.07s , +75d 18m 42s.5, (J2000) with a typical uncertainty of 0.5" at 2011-05-12 18:24:47.725 (UT). The OT is seen at 2 images. There is no minor planet and any object brighter 21 mag in DSS at this place.
The unfiltered (0.2B+0.8R) magnitude is about 17.7+-0.1 ( exposition 180s, mag limit =20.0). There are 2MASS J17285995+7518436 and USNOB1 red star (R=19.4).
Distance to the OT arcsec: 1.69. This is M8 star (http://cdsbib.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/cdsbib?2008AJ....136.1290R).
The MASTER auto-detection system at Ural detected a new
transient source at the position (R.A., Dec) = 13h 13m 20.36, +69d 26m 48s.3,
(J2000) with a typical uncertainty of 0.5" at 2011-05-14 16:39:20.093(UT). The
OT is seen at 4 images. There is no minor planet and any object brighter 21 mag
in DSS at this place.

The unfiltered magnitude is (0.2B+0.8R) , where B and R are USNOB magnitudes.
The spectral observations are needed.
