Denisenko, et. al., Moscow State University reports on The Astronomer's Telegram 4697 that the MASTER-Amur auto-detection system recorded a new OT source at: RA 04h 32m 54.33s DEC +20d 56m 41.8s on 2013-Jan 02.537UT. The OT, seen in two images, has an unfiltered magnitude of 16.2m (limit 18.7m). They also have a reference image without the OT on 2011 Feb 04.508UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.3m. A faint galaxy SDSS J043254.50+205640.9 (rmag = 22.9) is offset 2.7 arcsec.
