MASTER OT J001021.33+731516.5 discovery - possible dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>4m
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net",
Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 349171 ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 00h 10m 21.33s +73d 15m 16.5s on 2016-05-24.18141 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.7m (limit 18.1m).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have the following reference images without OT
Date(UT), m_lim(unfiltered), MASTER observatory
2015-08-18.87785 m_lim 19.3m (MASTER-IAC database),
2015-01-15 16:45:51UT m_lim=19.6 (MASTER-Kislovodsk),
2014-10-03 19:04:16UT m_lim=19.6 (MASTER-Kislovodsk),
2012-09-08 17:30:52UT m_lim=19.2 (MASTER-Tunka)
2011-12-26 11:44:57UT m_lim=19.0 (MASTER-Tunka)
2010-10-09 12:08:50UT m_lim=19.4 (MASTER-Tunka)
.
There is USNO-B1 star with B1=20.24, R1=19.49 (one of last outbursts), so we suggest the amplitude of current outburst is more then 4m
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J203111.28-625350.6 discovery - possible dwarf nova, Ampl>5.3m
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 31m 11.28s -62d 53m 50.6s on 2016-05-16.85579 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.7m (limit 18.5m).
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2015-10-10.77578 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.2m.
There is GALEX source in 2.8". so the amplitude of current outburst is more then 5.3(POSS 22m limit)
Spectral observations are required.
