MASTER OT J125459.84-442516.5 discovery - possible SuperNova in QSO galaxy BZB J1254-4424, also known as Parkes radio source PKS 1252-441.
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 12h 54m 59.84s -44d 25m 16.5s on 2015-04-08.93131 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.3m (the limit is 19.1m).
There are 3 images with this PSN in MASTER-SAAO database.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-03-16.00228 UT with 19.8 unfiltered magnitude limit.
This SN is in 29.5" from the center of galaxy, also known as QSO and Parkes radio source and GALEXASC J125457.57-442456.2 .
Spectral observations are required.
