MASTER OT J072959.96+110205.4 - new CV?

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 29m 59.96s +11d 02m 05.4s on 2012-10-21.04249 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.0m (limit 19.7m). The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2012-02-22.75453 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.8m.

The galactic latitude is +13.5 deg. There is nothing at this position in USNO-B1.0, 2MASS, 1RXS, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. This area is not covered by SDSS and CRTS. However, there is a faint blue star within 1" of the OT at the limit of digitized Palomar plates and UV object GALEX J073000.1+110203 (NUV=21.65+/-0.53). We suggest that MASTER OT J072959.96+110205.4 is a cataclysmic variable.

Spectral observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/072959.96110205.4_1.png

MASTER OT J205355.86+341410.0 - new CV?

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 53m 55.86s +34d 14m 10.0s on 2012-10-28.75475 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 18.2m). The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2010-09-15.81128 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 21.1m.

The galactic latitude is -7 deg. This area is not covered by SDSS and CRTS. There is nothing at this position in USNO-B1.0, 2MASS, 1RXS, GALEX, GCVS and AAVSO VSX. However, there is a faint star on Palomar plates which is present in GSC 2.3.2 with coordinates R.A. = 20 53 55.788, Dec. = +34 14 11.46 and Fmag=20.05, jmag=21.03. We suggest that MASTER OT J205355.86+341410.0 is a new cataclysmic variable.
