This variable appears to be identical to the
following object:

SBPO006897 in GSC2.3
R.A. 23h38m22.436s, Decl. -20o49'51.92" (J2000.0)
j= 21.96 mag

SDSS J233822.48-204952.2
R.A. 23h38m22.483s, Decl. -20o49'52.21" (J2000.0)
g= 21.586, r= 21.389, i= 21.720, u= 21.688 mag

GALEX J233822.5-204951 (ultraviolet source)
R.A. 23h38m22.503s, Decl. -20o49'51.71" (J2000.0)
NUV magnitude 22.7

If this identification is correct, then the outburst
amplitude is (at least) 8 magnitudes.
