The TNS server cannot be reached now ("504 Gateway Time-out"), thus I cannot check the discovery data of AT 2023nf. However there is an entry for TCP J06442271+1549388 on the TOCP website, showing a transient candidate discovered by Kojima-san:

The ASAS-SN survey has also detected this transient this morning at around 13.5g'.
