The MASTER auto-detection system at Tunka detected a new transient source at the position (R.A., Dec) = 16h 05m 58.15s , +27d 59m 21s.6, (J2000) 2011-08-09 16:22:25 (UT). The OT is seen at 3 images. There is no minor planet and any object brighter 21 mag in DSS at this place.
There is group of the anonymous galaxies very close to OT:
SDSS J160557.60+275921.1
SDSS J160558.47+275931.0
SDSS J160558.95+275921.8
So the OT is possible SN candidate.
The unfiltered OT magnitude is 17.2+-0.1 .
