survey that offers deep (∼ 21.5 mag in BV I bands), nearly continuous wide-field monitoring
for the discovery of early and/or fast optical transients. KSP-OT-201509a, reported here, was

Abstract
We present the discovery of a rapidly evolving transient by the Korean Microlensing Telescope Network Supernova Program (KSP). KSP is a novel high-cadence supernova survey that offers deep (∼ 21.5 mag in BV I bands), nearly continuous wide-field monitoring for the discovery of early and/or fast optical transients. KSP-OT-201509a, reported here, was discovered on 2015 September 27 during the KSP commissioning run in the direction of the nearby galaxy NGC 300, and stayed above detection limit for∼ 22 days. We use our BV I light curves to constrain the ascent rate,− 3.7 (7) mag day− 1 in V, decay timescale,
