Two MASTER   robotic telescopes (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located  near Baykal Lake (Tunka)  and Blagoveschensk was pointed to the
Swift GRB 100906A (Markwardt et al., GCN CIRCULAR
11227) 23  sec  after Notice time (38 s after trigger time) and 43 s after 
Notice time (58s after trigger time) (Ivanov et al., GCN CIRCULAR 11228).

We see brightening and decay of the prompt optical emission in both 
polarizations.

The preliminary light curve is available at

This automatical phtometry calbrated by   USNOB1  stars.
