G. Sun and X. Gao writes on the CBAT followups website:

"2011 06 02.72089

The new object approximately located at R.A.=13h30m05s.14
Decl.=+47?10'11".0 (equinox 2000.0).Which is about 138" east and 92"
north of the center of the NGC5194.Magnitude 14.4 V, limiting magnitude
19. Observer: G.Sun, X.Gao CHINA (C42) PSN J12565170+2629167 Location is
not the same?Are they the two goals?"

On a photo made by Csaba Hadhazi tonight, there is a ~14.4 star at the same position 
mentioned by G. Sun and X. Gao. Maybe the the initial position of the CBAT submission was wrong?

Nothing is visible down to 14-14.5 magnitudes at this "new" positon on my photos taken on 25/26
May at 300 mm focus of a zoom objective with a Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera. 

Best wishes,
