MASTER OT J110533.80+194118.7 discovery - bright PSN in 24.1"W,11.2"S from PGC1602017
MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system (Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 05m 33.80s +19d 41m 18.7s on 2016-10-23.06338 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.7m (mlim=18.8m).
The OT is seen in 6 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2013-04-01.82186 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.7m.
This PSN is in 24.1"W,11.2"S from PGC1602017
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J174222.87-515806.4 discovery - new OT, pos. dwarf nova outburst with Ampl>4.8m, no known sources in VIZIER
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 17h 42m 22.87s -51d 58m 06.4s on 2016-10-25.77892 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.2m (mlim=18.4). The OT is seen in 9 images. We have reference image on 2015-01-31.09847 UT with unfiltered mlim=18.7m.There is no any sources in VIZIER database inside 5", it means 22m POSS limit and more then 4.8mag of current outburst amplitude.
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J015252.11-102655.8 detection - QSO flare
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 01h 52m 52.11s -10d 26m 55.8s on 2016-10-21.99448 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.3m (mlim=19.1m).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2015-12-11.00932 UT with unfiltered mlim=20.5m.
This OT is a source from QSO candidates selection (D'Abrusco+, 2009) with low redshift Quasar classification (Abraham+, 2012)
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J200518.34+863434.7 detection - pos.dwarf nova outburst with ampl>2.5m
MASTER-Tunka auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 05m 18.34s +86d 34m 34.7s on 2016-10-27.57641 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (mlim=19.4m).
The OT is seen in 5 images. We have reference image without OT on 2012-03-11.91253 UT with unfiltered mlim=18.9m.
There is GSC2.3.2 star in 0.3" and GALEX source in 1.9", so we suggest accretion process and dwarf nova nature of OT with ampl>2.5
Spectral observations are required.
