We report confirmation of Gaia Science Alerts transient Gaia15aeq. Images were obtained through modified Gunn R band filter of the ECAM instrument installed on the Swiss 1.2m Euler telescope at La Silla, on 2015 May 13 - 14 UT.

Gaia15aeq is located approximately 8.15" NE of SDSS J233128.99+241629.0 galaxy.

A cut out image (400x400 pixel) is provided at the link above (N is up, E is left and the scale is 0.215"/pix).
