Multicolor images of the new optical transient in NGC 300, discovered by B. Monard (CBET #2289 and private communication), were obtained on 2010 May 25.37 by J. Espinoza with the SMARTS 1.3m telescope at Cerro Tololo and the ANDICAM camera. The transient has received the designation SN 2010da, although spectroscopic observations and the low luminosity suggest that it is most probably an LBV-like outburst on a dust-enshrouded massive star and not a true supernova (e.g., ATEL #2632, #2633, #2636, #2637, #2638).
