MASTER OT J064720.96-261456.5 - new CV
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 06h 47m 20.96s -26d 14m 56.5s on 2015-03-04.90017 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.2m (limit 18.9m).
The OT is seen in 6 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-01-14.05390 UT with marginally 19.1m of OT. There are several flares of this object in Catalina survey's archive.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at:http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/064720.96-261456.5_1.png
MASTER OT J151529.62-382313.3 - possible Dwarf Nova
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 15h 15m 29.62s -38d 23m 13.3s on 2015-03-06.01483 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (the limit is 18.3m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-02-23.07083 UT with 20.7 unfiltered magnitude limit.
