MASTER OT J205529.78+220725.5 discovery - PSN in unknown galaxy
(=AT2019rpr)
MASTER-IAC auto-detection system discovered OT source at
(RA, Dec) = 20h 55m 29.78s +22d 07m 25.5s on 2019-09-30.90192 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.3m (limit 19.3m).
The OT is seen in 2 images on 2019-09-30 and on 6 images on 2019-10-01 (now). There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2016-09-23.93716 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.1m.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at:
