MASTER II robotic telescopes (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Amur-Blagoveschensk was pointed to the GRB110223A 7sec after
notice time and 147 sec after GRB time.
Unfortunately, main telescopes was not in focus.
But we have images from Very Wide Filed Cameras mounted on telescope.
On our first (5s exposure) set
we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT-BAT error-box
(Littlejohns et al., GCN Curc 11761) brighter 12 mag (unfiltered).
12 coaded first images give limit 13 mag (mean time ~ 177 sec after
trigger).
The message may be cited.
The first image is available at

There is Polar star at right botom angle of the image.
