Nikolay Mishevskiy on behalf of CRTS report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2019idu
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 13:46:20.448 (206.5852) DEC = +46:07:41.52 (46.1282)
Discovery date: 2019-06-23 04:22:01.000 (JD=2458657.681956)
Potential host galaxy: NGC 5301
Host redshift: 0.005
Remarks: A faint transient with Mv ~ -10. Detected on three nights spanning a month. The low luminosity and lack of evolution suggests it may be an LBV outburst.
