The Palomar Transient Factory (see ATel #1964) reports the discovery of an optical transient with the Palomar Observatory 1.2-m Oschin telescope (+CFH12K camera). PTF09dh is located at RA = 14h44m42s.08, DEC = +49o43'44".9 (equinox 2000.0,uncertainty <1'). The object was detected at about R = 20.3 mag in multiple images obtained on April 17 between 6h and 12h UT. Follow-up imaging obtained with the Palomar Observatory 1.5-m telescope shows that PTF09dh brightened to r=18.5 mag on April 28.77 UT.
