Jingyuan Zhao report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2025qlt
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 00:43:32.540 (10.885583) DEC = +41:32:30.60 (41.541833)
Discovery date: 2025-07-05 03:09:51.840 (JD=2460861.63185)
Potential host galaxy: M31
Host redshift: -0.001
Remarks: Jingyuan Zhao report discovery of a possible nova in M31. Images obtained by 0.43-m f/6.8 Corrected Dall-Kirkham robotic telescope at Alnitak Remote Observatories in Nerpio, Spain, exposured 2×200s with Clear filter, around 2025 July 05.13185 UT, mag = 18.96 CV. Observations were made using Alnitak Remote Observatories robotic telescope network, Alnitak Research Telescope Access (ARTA) program.
