  The following Catalina new transient seems to be real.

804011350404111947 2008-04-01T05:11:03 2008-04-01T05:06:31 08 51 13.43 +34 44 48.7 4.320 16.39 16.40

  There a relatively blue object at this position:

USNO B1.0: 08 51 13.44	+34 44 48.8
B1=19.16 B2=20.12 R1=20.23 I=14.08

  The object was likely in outburst on I-plate.

SDSS                  u      g      i      r      z
J085113.44+344448.5 20.306 20.155 20.079 19.833 19.220

  This is possibly another dwarf nova in outburst.  Note full outbursts
can reach mag 14 (as inferred from I-plate mag).
