The source is detected only marginally in DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) and SDSS imaging thus we are unable to estimate a photometric redshift or stellar mass for the potential host, assuming the source is a galaxy; we are also unable to determine if the source is a star or a galaxy. The source has the following magnitudes in DECaLS DR7:\r\n\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nName     | RA (deg)    | DEC (deg)   | Filter | Mag   |  Magerr | Filter| Mag   | Magerr | Filter | Mag | Magerr | Filter\r\n--------------+-------------+-------------+--------+-------+---------+-------+-------+---------\r\nSDSS J214534.91+204126.2  | 326.395467148  | 23.456085 | 0.07854421 | g | 23.09552 | 0.07489753 |  r |   23.554304 | 0.36628282 | z\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nSpectroscopic follow-up is encouraged.\r\n\r\nZTF and GROWTH are worldwide collaborations comprising Caltech, USA; IPAC, USA, WIS, Israel; OKC, Sweden; JSI/UMd, USA; U Washington, USA; DESY, Germany; MOST, Taiwan; UW Milwaukee, USA; LANL USA; Tokyo Tech, Japan; IIT-B, India; IIA, India; LJMU, UK; TTU, USA; and USyd, Australia.
