MASTER OT J074610.09-712224.9 discovery - PSN in 1.4"E and 14.8"N of PGC269232

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 46m 10.09s -71d 22m 24.9s on 2015-04-26.75166 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.3m (the limit is 18.8m).

There are 6 images with this possible supernova in PGC269232. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2015-02-26.91948 UT with 19.1 unfiltered magnitude limit, onon 2015-03-27.858 with m_lim=19.1 and on 2014-12-31.960 with m_lim=19.3.

Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J224412.70+405714.2 ( ATEL #5614 ) - 15.0m blazar flare

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered blazar flare at (RA, Dec) = 22h 44m 12.77s +40d 57m 13.4s on 2015-04-23.96197 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.0m (the limit is 18.8m). There are 6 images with OT.

We have reference images without OT on 2010-11-06.64476 UT with 20.1 unfiltered magnitude limit.

MASTER preliminary photometry of this blazar is the following:
2010-09-13 20:44:53.065 18.2
2010-11-06 15:28:27.532 20.2
