MASTER OT J145057.70-433233.6 - possible new dwarf nova in outburst with Ampl>5.4m

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 50m 57.70s -43d 32m 33.6s on 2015-07-18.75478 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.6m (the limit 19.6m).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference images without OT on 2015-02-28.04793 UT with 20.0 unfiltered magnitude limit and on 2015-03-30.992UT with m_lim=19.5. There is no any source inside 5" in VIZIER database.So we can suggest dwarf nova outburst with Amplitude more then 5.4
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J084116.61-604743.6 discovery - possible new dwarf nova in outburst with Ampl>3.9m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 08h 41m 16.61s -60d 47m 43.6s on 2015-07-18.70979 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.1m (limit 18.8m).
The OT is seen in 6 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2015-02-22.93765 UT with 20.9 unfiltered magnitude limit.
Spectral observations are required.
