MASTER OT J180606.62-621331.3 discovery - bright dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>5.8m, no VIZIER

MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 18h 06m 06.62s -62d 13m 31.3s on 2016-10-19.03627 UT.
The OT unfiltered m=16.2m (limit 19.1m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
There is no any sources in VIZIER database, it means22m POSS limit and more then 5.8mag amplitude of current outburst.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-08-02.08435 UT with unfiltered mlim=19.5m.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at: http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/MASTEROTJ180606.62-621331.3.jpg

MASTER OT J104518.05-592711.0 detection - long periodical variable star
