MASTER OT J192402.43+421720.0 - bright PSN in PGC2195963

  MASTER-IAC auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic
Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L ) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec)
= 19h 24m 02.43s +42d 17m 20.0s on 2017-02-27 03:59:05.256UT during 
LIGO G275404 inspection (2017-02-25 18:30:51 UTC event time).

The OT unfiltered magnitude is ~16.6m (mlim=18.4).
The OT is seen in 5 image. There is no minor planet at this place.

There is PGC2195963 disc galaxy in 12.3" of this PSN ( http://leda.univ-lyon1.fr/ledacat.cgi?o=PGC2195963 )

We have reference image on 2016-03-19 05:07:19UT with unfiltered  mlim=19.8.
Spectral observations are required.

The discovery and reference images are
