MASTER OT J004350.08+411404.6 - PN in M31

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 43m 50.08s +41d 14m 04.6s on 2014-09-27.06818 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.8m (limit 18.8m). The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2011-12-16.67293 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 21.2m.

Spectral observations are required.
