MASTER OT J230448.20+324534.1 - possible GRB afterglow candidate

MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system during follow-up Fermi Trigger 430645968 observations (GCN 16745) discovered OT source at:

MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered MASTER OT J230448.20+324534.1 at (RA, Dec) = 23h 04m 48.20s +32d 45m 34.1s on 2014-08-25.62245 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.6m (limit 19.9m).

The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place. THere is SDSS9 J230447.99+324540.9 galaxy (Rmag = 22) with 7.3 arcsec offset.

We have reference image without OT on 2013-08-30.62251 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.9m.

Spectral observations are required.
