MASTER-Amur ( located near Russian Kosmodrom Vostochniy) comeback to
MASTER OT J183315.33+623157.0 (Lipunov et al., GCN 27555)
after 2 hours and we find optical transient with limit ~ 17.5 . So this
is real afterglow:
at (RA, Dec) = 18h 33m 15.33s +62d 31m 57.0s on
The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2016-08-12.64123 UT with unfiltered mlim= 19.3m.
Spectral observations are required.
The discovery and reference images are available at:
