MASTER OT J102834.06-023659.7 discovery - bright flare of 1WGA J1028.5-0236 QSO

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 10h 28m 34.06s -02d 36m 59.7s on 2015-03-26.78446 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.8m (the limit is 18.8m) and OT is seen at 3 images.

This MASTER OT is identical to 1WGA J1028.5-0236 quasar with V=19.05, B-V=0.73 and redshift z=0.476.

There are the following MASTER OT flares in MASTER-Kislovodsk archive database :
