Emmanuel Conseil report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2016jbx
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 00:41:31.540 (10.381417) DEC = +41:07:13.60 (41.120444)
Discovery date: 2016-12-27 20:29:18.000 (JD=2457750.3536806)
Potential host galaxy: M31
Remarks: E. Conseil reports the discovery of a possible nova in M31 on 3 images taken with Slooh robotic telescope T2 (17" Corrected Dalh-Kirkham F/6.8, clear filter) on Dec 27th at 20h29 UTC. The transient is at mag 16.9 (UCAC4-V for ref). The Minor Planet Checker reports no asteroid known at this location at this time. The object is very close to M31N 2007-11f
