MASTER OT J214254.34+153642.8

MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 21h 42m 54.34s +15d 36m 42.8s on 2015-10-13.59661 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.8m (limit 19.7m).

The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2011-09-22.57483 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.0m.

There is faint SDSS star J214254.30+153642.2 with r_mag ~ 22.6 .

Spectral and photometric observations are required.
