OT MASTER J162101.40+683138.9 - PSN in PGC1768827? (founded by V. Shurpakov)
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 02h 01m 29.65s +26d 15m 40.4s on 2012-09-16.97896 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.5m (limit 19.8m).
The OT is seen in 2 image. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2010-12-09.71550 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.1m.
The OT have offset 9.1W and 49.5N from PGC1768827
There is a faint star within 2" of OT at the limit of POSS-I blue
plates taken on 1953 June 14 and 1955 Apr. 23, but not on seven other
DSS plates. Nothing is present at this position in 2MASS, USNO-B1.0
and 1RXS catalogs, as well as in GCVS and AAVSO VSX. This area is not
covered by SDSS and GALEX.
We suggest that MASTER J162101.40+683138.9 is a PSN or new cataclysmic
variable (dwarf nova) in outburst.
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER J215751.35+152046.8 - new CV?
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 21h 57m 51.35s +15d 20m 46.8s on 2012-09-13.87523 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.7m (limit 19.7m).
The OT is seen in 7 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2010-11-09.65095 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.3m.
This object has an ultraviolet counterpart GALEX J215751.3+152047 with
UV magnitudes FUV=21.45+/-0.23 and NUV=20.61+/-0.11. The star is also
present in SDSS DR8 as SDSS J215751.34+152046.7 with the following
magnitudes: u=20.83 g=20.28 r=20.21 i=20.25 z=20.30.
There is a faint blue star on the 2nd epoch Palomar plates with GSC
coordinates 21 57 51.346 +15 20 46.10 and magnitude j=22.07. Nothing
is present at this position in 2MASS, USNO-B1.0 and 1RXS catalogs, as
well as in GCVS and AAVSO VSX.
Based on the blue color we suggest that MASTER J215751.35+152046.8 is
a new cataclysmic variable. Follow up observations are required.

OT MASTER J021835.49+004039.7 - flare in active quasar
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 02h 18m 35.49s +00d 40m 39.7s on 2012-09-16.02013 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.2m (limit 19.6m).
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2011-01-10.63973 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 21.5m.
This object is identical to SDSS
J021835.44+004039.2 (u=22.39 g=21.72 r=21.07 i=20.58 z=20.01) -
QSO with z=3.877
Spectral observations are required.
