We are excited to announce the launch of our new forums! You can access it forums.aavso.org. For questions, please see our blog post. The forums at aavso.org/forum have become read-only.
"Hello forum! Something was fixed near Andromeda m31 and I don’t know how to check it, I ask for help .. I am sending a screen with the coordinates, thanks."
( Doh! Thanks for google translate, Stella. That is a remarkably readable translation. )
Andrey: have you used the tools at the Minor Planet Center? I know it is a bit off the ecliptic, but have you determined if there are any asteroids at/near this location? Have you gone to Simbad and entered the coordinates to see what it shows at that location? Do you see it on more than one image? What is the bright star in the image (just so others can be sure we are looking in the right spot) ? Have you used AAVSO's VSX to search for variable stars at these coordinates?
Ummm... Andrey, we do try to be inclusive, but not many of us can read Russian!

Most probably you have got hot pixel insight the photometric aperture. The transition seems to have short duration.

I don’t know English well, and VSX in English and in PDF files cannot be translated into Google. I don’t know how to learn or read VSX.
Be very careful using Google translate. See, for example

Which will be entertaining or not depending upon whether you speak German and French in addition to English.
