Discovery of a possible new transient on 2018-09-04 in Unknown galaxy.
Source Magnitude 17.29 +/- 0.05.
Date of Observations: 2018-09-03.975 from Canary Islands, Spain
Observer: Malhar R. Kendurkar, GSNST Team
Team: M. Kendurkar, C. Raguenaud

Observation: AT2018ffy

AT2018ffy, Type CV
Discovered 2018-08-18.514 by ATLAS, mag 18.478 at discovery
R.A. = 23h37m23s.570, Decl. = +51°31'13".21

Observation: AT2018fka

AT2018fka, Type unknown
Discovered 2018-08-22.415 by ZTF, mag 18.67 at discovery
R.A. = 01h08m53s.410, Decl. = +09°01'21".42

Observation: AT2018fjz

AT2018fjz, Type CV
Discovered 2018-08-19.367 by ZTF, mag 16.14 at discovery
R.A. = 20h34m59s.250, Decl. = +24°36'20".72

Observation: 2018fif

2018fif, Type II in UGC 85
Discovered 2018-08-22.406 by ZTF, mag 18.28 at discovery
R.A. = 00h09m26s.550, Decl. = +47°21'14".73

Followup: AT2018fhy

After further investigation, AT2018fhy is probably 2MASS J00431056+4116574, a possible globular cluster in M31. The fact that it's made up of many stars, some of variable type RR Lyrae, explains the variations in magnitude we observed. Thanks to Emmanuel Conseil for the information.
