MASTER OT J122126.39-311248.3 â variable star, possible E
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 12h 21m 26.39s -31d 12m 48.3s on 2015-02-03.0226UT .
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.4m ( the limit is 19.3m).
There are 20 images on 2015-02-03 and 2015-02-06 with OT. There is reference image at MASTER-SAAO database with a 19.4m star on 2015-01-16.98490 UT with 19.4m unfiltered magnitude limit .
This OT is identical to the USNO-B1 0587-0282139 star with R2=19.68m , B2=19.78, I=18.66 .

Spectral observations are required.
MASTER175847.37+253624.2 - new CV, UV Cet type
MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 17h 58m 47.37s +25d 36m 24.2s on 2015-01-30.911 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.7m (the limit is 19.1m).
OT photometry is the following:
2015-01-30.911 16.7
2015-01-30. 914 16.3
2015-01-30.920 17.9
We have reference image without OT on 2011-06-28.73624 UT with 19.6m unfiltered magnitude limit and 2015-01-30.901 with 19.6 unfiltered magnitude limit.
