Further to Yecheistov et al. (2013, ATel#4790), MASTER OT J123526.99+163030.9 (=CSS130119:123527+163031) was discovered by CRTS in four images taken with the Catalina Schmidt telescope on Jan 19.5 UT with V~18.3. The transient was classified as a likely CV at Jan 19.9 UT and posted on the CRTS transient webpage and SkyAlert ("skyalert.org/events/603938/"). However, the source did not appear on CRTS CV pages. Given the time between the CSS observations and the MASTER detection (on Feb 5th), the source may be undergoing a second outburst.
