V. Yecheistov et. al., Moscow State University reports on The Astronomer's Telegram 4662 that the MASTER-Amur auto-detection system has recorded an OT source at: RA 22h 15m 10.66s DEC +68d 44m 28.8s on 2012 Dec 19.474UT The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 18.2m). It is seen in 4 images. There are no objects in SDSS to magnitude 23 at this place not in other catalogues. A reference image without the optical transient was obtained on 2011 August 27.591UT with magnitude limit in 'R' filter 18.6m. The object has brightened to 16.7m by 2012 Dec 19.644UT. Spectral observations are required.
