MASTER OT J173509.92-615941.3 discovery - possible dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>2m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 349171 )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 17h 35m 09.92s -61d 59m 41.3s on 2016-01-29.06019 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.1m (limit 18.3m).
There are 6 images with m_OT=15.1. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2015-01-31.06784 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.9m.
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER Ot J183000.82+142953.9 discovery - possible UVCet-type flare
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 18h 30m 00.82s +14d 29m 53.9s on 2016-02-03.28032 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 18.2m).
The OT is seen in 4 images(60s exposition)
Date,UT m_OT(unfiltered)
2016-02-03 06:41:49.049 17.3
2016-02-03 06:43:40.1 17.1
2016-02-03 06:45:50.504 17.0
2016-02-03 06:55:00.044 18.5
There is a red Sloan star at this place, so it seems to be UVCet flare.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-07-17.07498 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.3m.
