HT CASSIOPEIAE
The AAVSO records shows that C Chiselbrook has observed HT Cas (eruptive 
variable) in outburst on 2012 Nov 29.067 at visual magnitude 13.1.

Arto Oksanen, Finland, confirms the outburst on 2012 Nov 29 (15:20UT) at 
V=13.27.

MASTER OT J064643.02+412059
Further to the notice on TA E-Circular 2870 of the discovery of this 
optical transient, Len Adam has again confirmed the event on an image 
secured using the iTelescope.net T11 telescope at New Mexico on 2012 Nov 
25 at 08h55mUT at magnitude 17.1. The telescope is a 0.50-m f/6.8 
astrograph + CCD + f4.5 local reducer.
