The wide field "Pi of the Sky North" apparatus installed in the BOOTES-1
station at ESAt/INTA-CEDEA in Mazagon (Huelva, Spain;
http://grb.fuw.edu.pl/pi/index.html#piinta_site.htm )
identified an outburst within its field of view at 23:28:38 UT
on November 24, 2011. New source was visible at position (J2000):
RA 04h13m27.15s , DEC -01 deg 39 min 29 sec
and the magnitude measured from the 10s unfiltered exposures was:
Mag Start time (10s exposure)
12.0181 23:28:26
11.8029 23:28:38
12.0093 23:28:51
11.8858 23:29:04
12.2386 23:29:16
12.2768 23:29:29
where magnitude is based on the reference star magnitude in V filter.
No object was visible at this position at earlier times. The limit from
20 coaded frames was 12.5 mag.
The measured position coincides within estimated position error
of about 10 arcsec with 2MASS J04132663-0139211 star:
