 Recent ASAS-SN Sky Patrol (Shappee et al. 2014ApJ...788...48S
and Kochanek et al. 2017PASP..129j4502K) light curve and data:
https://asas-sn.osu.edu/light_curves/eb1d23f8-3046-4dc4-a676-3eab0db63f63
 
There are several Gaia DR2 sources (Gmag. 20) only few arc
seconds away from the reported position of the transient.
 
Precise astrometry is urgently required (spectroscopy and
photometry, too).
 
Clear skies,
Patrick
