Sorry, I have incorrectly reported the constellation of the new MASTER 
OT in my previous E-mail!  It is not in Cepheus, but in Camelopardalis 
(Cam), a couple degrees from NN Cam = NSV 1485.  My apologies for the 
confusion!

The corrected report follows:

MASTER-Tunka has detected a 16-mag optical transient MASTER OT 
J034850.9+714202 in Camelopardalis (ATel #3794, Balanutsa et al.) which 
is a possible dwarf nova in outburst.  The visual inspection of 
available Palomar plates shows a presence of a very faint object 
(B~21.5-22) marginally visible on two POSS-II blue plates only (1993 
Sep. 25 and 1994 Jan. 09).  There is nothing at this position in GSC 
2.3.2, USNO-B1.0, 2MASS and GALEX catalogues.

Position of the object (J2000.0) from the discovery ATel:

03 48 50.94 +71 42 02.0

The magnitude of the optical transient (unfiltered) was 16.0 on 2011 
Dec. 01.63 UT.
