MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Tunka(Siberia) was pointed to the GRB110709.64 29 sec s after 
notice time and 54 sec after GRB time at 2011-07-09 15:25:23.161 UT. On 
our first (10s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within 
SWIFT error-box (Holland et al., GCN 110709A).
The 3-sigma upper limit has been about 16.0 mag (V band + polarizator)
