ATel 6233 reports the discovery of a very bright transcient by All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or"Assassin") 

 

RA (2000) 21:54:57.62 
Dec (2000) 26:41:16 
Mag 10.7

I obtained a spectrum on June 15.0 which confirms that the transcient is a dwarf nova in outburst

http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=6235

The spectrum shows a strong blue continuum, narrow component in  a broad absorption for H alpha, other Balmer
 lines in absorption, He II 4686 in emission

Line at 6929 is a cosme (not removed)

New Transient

  Interesting! Is this most likely a CV with a long span of time between outbursts?

UGWZ

Yes, it is most likely an UGWZ variable.

Sequence

Is a sequence being assembled for this nova?  If not, I will request one...

AUID?

 

Is there an AUID yet? 

I couldn't find anything in VSX under ASASN-14cl.

possible variable near ASASSN-14cl

Prior to AAVSO creating a comparison star sequence, I had been using stars from the UCAC4 for comparison.  Ensemble was used.  One of the stars began showing deviation of over 0.2 magnitude relative to the other stars. 

This star is UCAC4 583-126503 at RA = 329.0053362, Dec = +26.4080956.  It has B = 10.635, V = 10.305, r = 10.303. 

A check of VSX was negative.  Checking the Catalina Surveys database has the nearest star as CSS_J215601.8+262433.  This star shows variation, but is saturated and the position is offset slightly. 

I have not taken enough images to use Period04 to see if there is a period.
