MASTER OT J203053.79+384020.1 / AT2019lly discovery

MASTER-IAC auto-detection system discovered OT source at
(RA, Dec) = 20h 30m 53.79s +38d 40m 20.1s on 2019-07-18.92684 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 14.9m (limit 19.4m).

The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2019-07-09.14716 UT with unfiltered
magnitude limit 19.7m.

The discovery and reference images are available at:
http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/203053.79384020.1.png

There is a DSS  source inside 2" with mag = 20.0m.
This flash is registered in the error box GW S190718y,but is probably 
unrelated to the GW event (Cataclysmic Variable)

MASTER cover map of Ligo/Virgo S190718y error-field inspection  will be
available on-line at:
