MASTER OT J075014.67+153229.5 discovery - dwarf Nova outburst with Ampl>4m or Sloan classification's QSO flare
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 349171 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 50m 14.67s +15d 32m 29.5s on 2015-12-03.15072 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.2m (the limit is 19.4m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-11-20.17037 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.8m.
There is USNO-B1 source with Blue=(17.8-20.3)mag, Red=(17.9-19.4), also there is a QSO candidate from SDSS DR10 catalogue of candidate quasars. So there are 2 scenarios: dwarf nova outburst with amplitude more then 4mag, or QSO flare.
Spectral observations are required.
