MASTER OT J105519.53+365834.1 - bright PSN in 1.2"E,1.2"S from the center 
of  PGC032819  (Sc type   http://leda.univ-lyon1.fr/ledacat.cgi?PGC032819 )

  MASTER-Tunka (Near Baykal, Irkutsk, Russia) auto-detection system 
discovered optical transient at 
RA(2000)=10h 55m 19.53s +36d 58m 34.1s  on
2017-02-18 18:18:18UT with unfiltered m_OT=15.7 (MASTER W=0.2B+0.8R 
calibrated by USNO-B1 thousands stars in the field).
This PSN is seen on 3 images and is located in 1.2"E,1.2"S from the center 
of spiral  PGC032819 .

We have reference images without OT on 2016-01-01 21:12:22 with mlim=19.9, 
on 2016-12-25 21:56:41UT with mlim=18.8.

Spectral observatios are required.
