MASTER OT J205803.49+084458.7 - first OT discovered at MASTER-IAC, Dwarf Nova outburst with Ampl>3.5

MASTER-IAC was installed at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) at the end of May 2015

MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered optical transient at (RA, Dec) = 20h 58m 03.49s +08d 44m 58.7s on 2015-06-13.134 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.8m (the limit is 19.5m). There is no minor planet at this place.

There are reference images without OT in MASTER-Net database
on 2010-08-28.768UT with unfiltered m_lim=19.6 and 2012-06-21.961 with m_lim=19.5 (MASTER-Kislovodsk),
on 2012-09-12.844UT with unfiltered m_lim=19.6 (MASTER-Tunka),
on 2011-09-21.659UT with m_lim=19.2 (MASTER-Ural).

There is only SDSS J205803.51+084458 star with Rmag=21.345. So we can suggest the dwarf nova outburst with amplitude more then 3.5m.
Preliminary MASTER OT J205803.49+084458.7 photometry is the following:
UT, unfiltered m_OT 2015-06-13.1338 17.8
2015-06-15.0754 17.8
2015-06-16.2087 18.0

The discovery and reference images are available at http://observ.pereplet.ru/images/MASTEROTJ205803.49+084458.7.jpg

Spectral observations are required.

We devoted this discovery to the 30th Anniversary of the Observatorios de Canarias.
