MASTER OT J140804.26-115949.7 - possible Supernova

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 08m 04.26s -11d 59m 49.7s on 2014-03-30.92955 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 18.3m). The OT is seen in 5 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2014-02-05.01282 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.4m. Sum of six 60-sec unfiltered exposures by MASTER-Kislovodsk on 2014 Mar. 30.926-30.932 UT is uploaded to http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/J140804-115949-MASTER-Kislovodsk.jpg

The new object is located 19" east and 9" north of the center of galaxy PGC 959023 = SDSS J140803.02-115958.7 (z=0.0353). Spectral confirmation is required. Discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/140804.26-115949.7.png

MASTER OT J092340.92+292859.5 - possible Supernova

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 09h 23m 40.92s +29d 28m 59.5s on 2014-04-19.75675 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.3m (limit 19.7m). The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2014-01-04.91677 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.4m.

The new object is located 6" east and 6" south of the center of galaxy SDSS J092340.46+292905.5 (g=18.72 r=17.92 i=17.62). However, there is also a red star SDSS J092340.81+292859.8 (g=24.96 r=22.13 i=20.80) = WISE J092340.97+292859.0 (W1=15.34 W2=15.06 W3=12.29) within 1" of the OT. Spectral confirmation is required.
