MASTER OT J181258.26+160246.8 discovery - bright dwarf nova in outburst, Ampl>5m

MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 18h 12m 58.26s +16d 02m 46.8s on 2016-11-06.81470 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 15.4m, mlim=18.0m.
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-06-08.08441 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 18.9m. There is USNO-B1 star with B2=20.57, R2=19.14 and GALEX UV source, it meanse the ampl of current dwarf nova outburst more then 5mag (MASTER W is calibrated by USNOB1 as 0.2B+0.8R).
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J054559.55-214305.1 discovery - possibly UVCet type flare

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05h 45m 59.55s -21d 43m 05.1s on 2016-10-26.99762 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.5m, mlim=20.8.
The OT is seen in 2 image. There is no minor planet at this place, and no human satellites or their parts outside at this time.
We have reference image on 2015-12-18.03497 UT with unfiltered mlim= 20.7m, there is m_OT<~20.5 on 2016-11-02 01:14:19UT with mlim=20.5 .
There is USNO-B1 star in 3" with known R2=20.86, I=18.71, no JHK, but the time of outburst looks most likely to red dwarf flare.
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J114134.71-504829.3 discovery - bright dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>3.7m

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 41m 34.71s -50d 48m 29.3s on 2016-11-01.07264 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.3m, mlim=18.8.
The OT is seen in 13 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image on 2016-04-16.05932 UT with unfiltered mlim= 19.8m.
Spectral observations are required.
