MASTER OT J051721.71-513132.0 discovery - PSN in 0.5"E,16.4"N of PGC147304

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 05h 17m 21.71s -51d 31m 32.0s on 2016-12-26.92440 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.2m (mlim=20.5).
The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2016-04-30.76874 UT with unfiltered mlim= 20.5m.
This OT is in 0.5"E,16.4"N of PGC147304 with Btc=15.6
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J074509.15-621438.0 discovery - dwarf nova outburst, Ampl>4m

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 45m 09.15s -62d 14m 38.0s on 2016-12-22.97976 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.0m (mlim=19.5).
The OT is seen in 4 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2016-03-20.08044 UT with unfiltered mlim= 19.9m.
There is only GSC 2.3.2 known star with jmag=22.04(previous outburst), so the Ampl of current outburst is more then 4m
Spectral observations are required.

MASTER OT J094234.49+105935.7 discovery - superluminous PSN (also known as ATLAS16eay) or CV?

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 09h 42m 34.49s +10d 59m 35.7s on 2016-12-21.99084 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.2m (limit 18.9m).
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on
2016-10-05 01:46:01UT with mlim=19.0 and on 2013-03-30.78402 UT with 19.2m unfiltered magnitude limit (MASTER-Kislovodsk),
2016-11-15 20:34:29 with mlim=17.7(MASTER-Tunka),
2015-10-17 19:35:22 with mlim=18.1 (MASTER-Amur).
In the PSN scenario this OT must be superluminous SN : SDSS galaxy in 4.6" and our limits are inside this posibility.

Spectral observations are required.
