MASTER OT J234149.80-465633.6 discovery - short optical transient , no VIZIER, Ampl>3m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., Advances in Astronomy, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2010 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 23h 41m 49.80s -46d 56m 33.6s on 2015-10-11.81150 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.9m (the limit is 20.4m). There are 6 images with this OT at 2015-10-11 19:28:34, 19:32:16, 19:35:57(MASTER is twin telescope). There is no minor planet at this place. There is no object at 2015-10-11 19:40:33 and later, and on 2015-10-10 20:40:28 and earlier.
We have 1458 images of this area with m_lim_W up to 21.2, m_lim_B up to 20.8, m_lim_V up to 20.8, m_lim_R up to 20.0 without OT from 2014-12-27 19:53:19UT in MASTER-SAAO database, for ex., on 2015-08-17.98584 UT with m_lim=20.6m.
There is no any source in VIZIER database inside 5" (up to 22m)
Spectral observations are required.
