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:

[GCN OPS NOTE(13apr20): In the first senstence, change "J111012.51+274912.8"
to "J183315.33+623157.0".
