MASTER OT J051032.58-692130.4 discovery - 12m OT in LMC

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 349171 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05h 10m 32.58s -69d 21m 30.4s on 2016-05-10.72797 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 12.0m (limit 17.6m).
The OT is seen in 8 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-09-02.04398 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.0m.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/051032.58-692130.4.png
