ASAS-SN has detected and now also confirmed a new transient:

Name                  RA	Dec	            Discovery	V
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASASSN-14cm	 15:45:31.72	1:2:27.8	2014-06-16.45	13.27

ASASSN-14cm was V>16.2 on 2014-06-14.4, discovered at V=13.3 on 
2014-06-16.4, confirmed V=13.45 on 2014-06-17.4, position matches to 
within 1" to g=22.0 blue SDSS star, so most likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf 
nova.

No previous outburst are seen in CRTS data, light curve is most 
likely dominated by nearby (2.2" away), red star.
