MASTER OT J222817.90-145657.4 discovery - blue bright OT inside Fermi error-box, Ampl>6m, no known VIZIER sources
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 22h 28m 17.90s -14d 56m 57.4s on 2016-09-25.75053 UT during automatically inspection of Fermi trigger 496473540 ( http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/other/496473540.fermi ).
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.9m (limit 19.7m).
The OT is seen in 6 images.
The Bmag=15.3, Imag=16.0. Inspection will be continued.
We have reference images without OT on 2016-08-29.86883 UT with unfiltered mlim=20.8m (MASTER-SAAO), on 2016-09-19 04:07:28 UT with mlim=19.4 (MASTER-OAFA).
There is no any sources in VIZIER database inside 5", it means 22m POSS limit and more then 6.1 magnitudes of current outburst.
Spectral observations are required.
