We report the discovery of an optical transient located at RA = 11:56:49.13 Dec = +54:27:25.7 (J2000, uncertainty <1"), in unfiltered CCD images taken by the 0.45m ROTSE-IIIb telescope at McDonald Observatory, Texas. The transient was detected at 18.1 ±0.1 mag on Apr 26.23 UT and observed to be around 17.8 mag from Apr 28. 21 UT to May 6.23 UT. The transient is near a group of galaxies at z=0.062 in SDSS images, but no counterpart is visible at its position.
