MASTER OT J183315.33+623157.0 (AT2020har) discovery new OT inside Fermi GRB 200412B
(trigger 608375325).

MASTER-Amur auto-detection system ( located near Russia Kosmodrom 
Vostochniy) discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 18h 33m 15.33s +62d 31m 
57.0s on 
2020-04-12.48156 UT in Fermi error box (GCN 27547, 27548) Lipunov et al., 
GCN  27549).

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.6m
(mlim18.0).

The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image on 2016-08-12.64123 UT with unfiltered mlim= 
19.3m.

Spectral observations are required.

The discovery and reference images are available at:
