MASTER OT J013646.48-140323.5 discovery - PSN in 6.3"E,13.1"S of barred 
spiral PGC005976

During LIGO G296853 area inspection MASTER-SAAO(see Lipunov et al., GCN 
21435) auto-detection system
(Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 
30L ) discovered possible SuperNova explosion in PGC005976 galaxy
at  position  (RA, Dec) = 01h 36m 46.48s -14d 03m 23.5s on 
2017-08-09.91543 UT  (Gress et al., Atel #10631).
The OT (PSN) unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (mlim=18.8).
This OT is seen in 4 inspection images. There is no minor planet at this 
place.
We have reference image on 2016-08-27.02894 UT with unfiltered mlim= 
20.3m.

This PSN is located in spiral in 6.3"E,13.1"S of barred PGC005976 with 
Btc=14.82, Vgsr=12113km/s

Corresponding distance is ~ 170 Mpc.

Spectral observations are required.
