2015 08 21.90058

This transient was observed on 2015 08 21.90058 by G. Masi, remotely using the 17"-f/6.8 robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility, at Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Ceccano, Italy. 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, show the source at mag. 16.5 (R mags for the reference stars from UCAC-4). We also performed astrometry, getting the following end figures: 16.26; 25.3 (J2000.0, mean residuals of 0.1" on both axes).
