MASTER-Tunka has detected a 16-mag optical transient MASTER OT 
J034850.9+714202 in Cepheus (ATel #3794, Balanutsa et al.) which is a 
possible dwarf nova in outburst.  The visual inspection of available 
Palomar plates shows a presence of a very faint object (B~21.5-22)

1994 Jan. 09).  There is nothing at this position in GSC 2.3.2, 
USNO-B1.0, 2MASS and GALEX catalogues.

The magnitude of the optical transient (unfiltered) was 16.0 on 2011
