ASASSN-16kd was discovered in images obtained on UT 2016-09-07.003 at 
V~11.4 mag, and we also have a detection of this transient on UT 
2016-09-06.00 at V~12.1. We do not detect (V>17.4) the object in images 
taken on UT 2016-09-02.99 and before. No previous outbursts are detected 
in the previous 81 epochs of ASAS-SN data at this location since ASAS-SN 
started observing the Galactic center in March 2016.ASASSN-16kd was
