Recently, Shurpakov et al. (2012, ATel#4686) noted MASTER OT J162314.36+650038.2 as a possible CV. A source was detected at this location in four images taken by the Catalina Schmidt Survey telescope on 2009-03-25 UT at V=17.1 +/- 0.1. There are no other significant detections of this source to V~19.5, suggesting that the source is most likely a CV. Photometry for transients sources detected in Catalina Schmidt images is available in the orphancat and photcat catalogs at catalinadata.org.
