Balanutsa et. al. (SAAO) and others report on ATEL #9174 that MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered an OT source at: RA 09h 59m 58.98s DEC -19 01' 00.6" on 2016 June 17.77954UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 13.3m (limit 18.8m). It is seen in three images. There is no minor planet at this place. There is a reference image without the OT on 2016 Apr 12.80183UT with an unfiltered magnitude limit 19.8. There is an USNO-B1 star with B=20.71,R=20.70 and GALEX source, suggesting a dwarf nova outburst with current amplitude greater than seven magnitudes. Spectral observations are required. The discovery and reference images are available at http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/095958.98-190100.6.png This OT is also present on the ASASSN page (independent detection?) Guy M Hurst
