MASTER OT J003831.10-640313.7
O. Gress et. al. Moscow State University reports on The Astronomers'
Telegram 8596 the discovery of 
MASTER OT J003831.10-640313.7 using the MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system. 

It is located at:
RA 00h 38m 31.10s DEC -64 03' 13.7" on 2016 Jan 26.85306 UT. 
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 12.7m (limit 18.5m). The OT is seen in 48
images. There is no minor planet at this place. 

A reference image pf 2015 Feb 06.77647 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit
21.7m did now show the transient. 

There are several catalogues which contain the object inside their error
box: GALEX,WISE etc but it is interesting that the source
is found in the Atlas of Radio/X-ray associations (ARXA). 

Spectral observations are required. 

The discovery and reference images are available at:

Editor: We would welcome further observations from Southern Hemisphere
observers and others with robotic telescope access.
