Dear Korotkiy Stas,

> Here is our astrometry of this object.
>   R.A. 06h32m13s.09, Decl. +25o36'22".2 (J2000.0)

Note that the astrometry above is based on all of our images from 2011
Jan. 10 to 2012 Jan. 26.

The astrometry based on only the outburst images on 2012 Jan. 26 is:
  R.A. 06h32m13s.12, Decl. +25o36'21".8 (J2000.0)

There is a USNO-A2.0 star at this position:
  USNO-A2.0 1125.04125863  06h32m13s.235 +25o36'23".97  Mag(R):14.5
Mag(B):15.4

However, we cannot say whether this USNO-A2.0 15-mag star became
bright, or a new bright star appeared very near by this position,
based on our astrometry.

Best regards,

detected on 2012 January 27 at position 06:32:13.06 +25:36:22.5 (+/-0.3",
J2000). Inspection of previous images of this field revealed that the object
is also present on images from January 24, 25, and 26 but is below the
detection limit (typically around 13.5m) on January 20 and 21.

J063214.8+253620 listed in the ROSAT All Sky Survey Faint Source Catalog
(Voges et al., 2000, IAUC, 7432) and is likely associated with it. The All
