MASTER OT J133253.32+355733.3 - SN in SDSS J133253.27+355733.4
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 13h 32m 53.32s +35d 57m 33.3s on 2013-02-11.69402 UT. The astrometry error Sigma is 0.3 arcsec.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.7m (limit 18.4m).
The OT is seen in 3 images (in different tubes). There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2013-01-10.88572 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.6m.
There is faint (rmag=22) SDSS galaxy SDSS
J133253.27+355733.4 at this place (offset is 0.6 arcsec)
The OT 5.5 mag brighter than galaxy. So it is possible that OT is the luminous SN candidate.
Spectral observations are required.
