On UT 2008 July 23.33, P60-FasTING (Palomar 60-inch Fast Transients In Nearby Galaxies) discovered a faint optical transient in M31 at RA(J2000)=00:43:27.28, DEC(J2000) = +41:10:03.3. P60-M31-080723 has a brightness of g = 19.3 +/- 0.2 (photometric calibration wrt USNO-B) and it is offset by 8.1'E,6.1'S from the center of M31. It was also marginally detected on July 22.32 at g = 19.8 +/- 0.2. It was not detected on the previous several nights with 3-sigma upper limits in table below.
