MASTER-Amur has detected the new cataclysmic variable in Auriga MASTER
OT J062019.25+362511.7 with unfiltered magnitude 16.2-16.4. It was
found independently by S. Shurpakov and D. Denisenko while checking
the candidates simultaneously. The discovery was announced in ATel
#4756, see <http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=4756>.

There is nothing at this position in any catalogs and on the
color-combined SDSS image to ~23.5m. Thus, the object is a good
candidate to WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Time-resolved photometry is
encouraged. Unfortunatley the object at the moment is only 18 deg from
the nearly full Moon.
