Yuji Nakamura, Kameyama, Mie, Japan, reports his discovery of this TCP (mag 11.3) in Aur on a CCD frame taken on 2019 Mar 14.4227 UT (limiting mag 13.0) using a 135mm F4.0 lens. The object was not shown on a frame taken on 2019 Mar 09.4284 UT (limiting mag 13.0). There is a 19.2 mag star USNO-A2.0 1350-06029095 on this position.
2019 03 14.65 UT
Gaia DR2 position end figures for the abovementioned star USNO-A2.0 1350-06029095 are 04.103s, 00.71" (equinox J2000.0, epoch 2015.5; Gmag. 19.67, parallax 3.0826 ± 0.5239 mas, distance ~0.3 kpc). Other designations are USNO-B1.0 1378-0184085, GSC2.3 NAO9008900, PSO J053904.098+474800.708, GALEX J053904.0+474800, AllWISE J053904.08+474759.9, WDJ053904.11+474800.65. The transient is probably a dwarf nova outburst with an amplitude of about 8 magnitudes (WZ Sge type?).
*** Spectroscopy as well as multiband and time-resolved photometry are strongly recommended. ***

Hello! I'll try to image it tonight. Are the comps up yet? My camera is 12'x18' so I may have to offset the target if the comps are a bit away from it.Best regards.

My pleasure, Michel. :-)
Please note that this object is obviously a dwarf nova and not a nova.
Clear skies,
