The OT at quiescence is identical to the faint blue star:
SDSS J234843.14+250249.9 (u=20.19 g=20.24 r=20.34 i=20.32 z=20.03)
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237678541701906723
USNO-B1.0 1150-0578157 (B1=19.89 R1=N/A B2=20.28 R2=20.31 I=N/A).
It was in outburst on the Quick-V Palomar plate taken on 1983 Oct. 11,
hence the following GSC 2.3.2 magnitudes: Fmag=20.09, jmag=20.07,
Vmag=16.30.
UV counterpart: GALEX J234843.1+250251 (FUV=20.56+/-0.22, NUV=20.46+/-0.13)

There are five previous outbursts in Catalina Real-time Transient
Survey data: on 2006 June 16 to 16.8m, 2008 Nov. 07 (16.0m), 2009 Aug.
01 (17.6m), 2012 Aug. 28 (16.9m) and 2012 Oct. 21 (15.8m). Current
outburst appears to be a superoutburst. SDSS colors suggest a short
orbital period. Time-resolved photometry is strongly encouraged.
