Following the posting on the Central Bureau's Transient Object
Confirmation Page about a new bright transient in Cen (TOCP
Designation: J14250600-5845360) we performed some follow-up of this
object remotely through the 2.0-m  f/10.0 Ritchey-Chretien + CCD of
"Faulkes Telescope South" (MPC Code - E10).

On our images taken on April 09.5, 2012 we can confirm the presence of
an optical counterpart with unfiltered CCD magnitude 8.7 at
coordinates:

R.A. = 14 25 04.45, Decl.= -58 45 34.3

(equinox 2000.0; UCAC-2 catalogue reference stars).

According to VIZIER there is a 15.319 J-magnitude star at 2.6
arcseconds from the transient position (NOMAD1 0312-0489482).
