[vsnet-alert 13620] New transient in M 101?

[Rudolf Novák]

Dear all,
during observing run of M 101's supernova PTF11KLY I noticed faint
star-like object. As there is bad dark frame image used for reduction,
I suppose that this is only some artefact. But other bad pixels seems
to look different. This composed image is 150' V filter exposure taken
in bad light polluted city centre using 20cm Newtonian, Celestron CGEM
and SBIG ST-402ME camera. I checked the field using Palomar and there
is no source on tat location. Preliminary astrometry yield the source
position to be 14h 02m 21s 54o 19' 11"

Please have a look at image posted here:

Could anybody please check his images to convince me that I have only
tired eyes? :)

thanks

Rudolf
