TCP J00505644+5351524 = GEOTS-2021-016 (UGSU:) (submitted to VSX)
Gaia EDR3 position: 00 50 56.439 +53 51 51.9 (equinox J2000.0, epoch J2016.0)

The current outburst started on 2021 July 17, preceded by a precursor outburst (from July 13 to 14).
A previous (short) outburst was recorded from 2016 July 28 to 30 by ATLAS and the ASAS-SN Sky Patrol.
 
This variable looks like an SU UMa-type dwarf nova with an orbital period above the gap
(if the red source Gaia DR2 417437629669203968 is really the progenitor).
 
Time-resolved photometry is urgently required.
 
Clear skies,
Patrick
