I confirm the possible supernova MASTER OT J163040.68+443034.7 on 7.5-min co-added unfiltered CCD images (limiting mag 20) taken on 2014 Mar. 15.038 UT with the 0.60-m Schmidt telescope at Konkoly Observatory, Piszkesteto, Hungary. The transient is located at R.A. = 16h30m40s.62, Decl. = +44d30'34".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 7".8 west and 14".7 south of the center of the presumed host galaxy. The estimated brightness is R = 15.96 +/- 0.13 mag tied to USNO B1.0 magnitudes.
