MASTER OT J112751.19+411209.8 - possible Supernova
MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 27m 51.19s +41d 12m 09.8s on 2014-02-08.76638 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 18.7m). The OT is seen in 7 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2012-03-24.65204 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.1m. Comparison of MASTER-Tunka images obtained in Mar. 2012 (2x180-sec exposures) and Feb. 2014 (5x60-sec exposures) is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J112751+411209-Tunka-anim.gif
The OT is located 0" west and 5" north of the center of galaxy SDSS J112751.22+411205.2 (g=21.51 r=20.55 i=20.33). Spectral confirmation is required. Discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/112751.19411209.8.png
