At 2017-08-28 11:00 (UT), we continued the observation of MASTER
OTJ033744.97+723159.0 near NGC 1343 (Lipunov et al. GCN 21719, 21720) with
the SQUEAN instrument on the McDonald Observatory���s 2.1m telescope. AB
magnitudes before and after the Galactic extinction correction are given
below.
Before | Extinction | After
g 16.97 1.125 15.85
r 16.49 0.778 15.71
i 16.56 0.578 15.98
The object has brightened by ~0.2 mag in one day and stayed blue in r-i but
has a redder color in g-r (c.f. Lipunov et al. GCN 21736). The brightening
is consistent with the report that this is a type IIb SN before maximum
(Jonker et al. GCN 21737).
