We observed  the    optical  transient  AT2019lvs/ZTF19abjethn 
discovered by ZTF (Kasliwal et al. GCN 25199) with TShAO Zeiss-1000 and 
CDK700  telescope (NUTTelA-TAO) of Assy-Turgen observatory. Observations 
started earlier than Update on Sky-Localization (LVC, GCN 25208).   We 
observed the transient in B,R - filters.   The transient photometry is 
following.

CDK700

The photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1  (R2) stars.
The extremely blue color of the transient (B-R) = -0.15 is fully agreed 
with classification of  the transient as CV (Magee et al., GCN 25209).
