MASTER OT J070740.72+702630.0 - new bright CV in Camelopardalis
  20130205.415  145C  MASTER-Amur
  20130205.447  145C  MASTER-Amur

This one was found by Vsevolod Yecheistov. There is a faint blue star
in GSC 2.3.2:
RA=07 07 40.633, Dec=+70 26 30.25, Fmag=19.90, jmag=20.72

Also an UV counterpart GALEX J070740.7+702629 (FUV=N/A,
NUV=20.87+/-0.22). Likely a new SU UMa variable.

And 7 hours later yet another one was found by Sergey Shurpakov, also a 14.5m.

MASTER OT J123526.99+163030.9 - new bright CV in Coma Berenices
  20130205.697  145C  MASTER-Amur
  20130205.728  145C  MASTER-Amur

The object is identical to the star SDSS J123526.92+163031.2:
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237668623014101397
u=21.99(15), g=22.00(7), r=21.79(7), i=22.24(16), z=21.87(43).

Since the amplitude is more than 7m, this one is likely a new WZ Sge dwarf nova.

Photometric time series for both objects are encouraged.
