OT MASTER142812.05-013615.2 discovery.


MASTER-IAC auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 14h 
28m 12.05s -01d 36m 15.2s on 2019-05-11.03821 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.6m (limit 20.0m).

The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2016-03-09.04372 UT with unfiltered 
magnitude limit 20.3m.
There is low surface brightness galaxy (from HSC-SSP)  with 2.7 arcsec 
offset at 14 28 12.0144	-01 36 17.316
This OT  is good candidate for Gravitational Waves counterpart.

Spectral observations are required.

Folow up observations are required.
