MASTER OT J044212.20+230616.7 - possible supernova in PGC 1681539
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 04h 42m 12.20s +23d 06m 16.7s on 2014-09-20.81259 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.4m (limit 18.9m). The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2012-09-26.76938 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.1m.
The new object is located 5" west and 4" south of the nucleus of galaxy PGC 1681539 = 2MASX J04421256+2306209 with unknown redshift. Spectral confirmation is required. The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/044212.20230616.7.png
