I've put an image cutout from the 2012-04-28 Sloan r' image at:
ftp://ftp.aavso.org/public/aavsonet/apass/misv1448_SR_120428.jpg

The object is near the plate limit of about 17th magnitude, so is still in 
quiescence on this date (JD 2456045.829).  That further constrains the date of 
the outburst.
