PSN J12431118-0126182 = SNhunt249 confirmed on single 180 seconds clear image taken remotely with robotic 0.43m telescope T17 of iTelescope.net in Siding Spring, Australia. Photometry was 20.5 +/- 0.5 clear with V as reference. Comparison stars are from SDSS whose g and r data were calculated to V. Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/watchingthesky/14251541895. S.

This transient was observed on 2014 05 29.9097 by Gianluca Masi, remotely using the 17"-f/6.8 corrected Dall-Kirkham robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility, at Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Ceccano, Italy. 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, show the source at mag. 20.0 (R mags for the reference stars from UCAC-4). We also performed astrometry, getting the following end figures: 10.95; 18.1 (J2000.0, mean residuals of 0.2" on both axes).
