MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) located in 
Tunka(Siberia) was pointed to the GRB110801A 101 sec after GRB time at 
2011-08-01 19:51:23 UT. Unfortunatelly the objects was not in focus  because 
recently photometer modification.  On our first (20s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
(De Pasquale et al., GCN 12228).
The 3-sigma upper limit has been about 14.0 mag (white+polarizator).


MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) located 
near Kislovodsk (Caucasus Mountains)  closed roof 20 min before trigger due to 
cloudy condidtions. The telescope was repointed to the
GRB110901A  only 47 min 40 sec after trigger time at 2011-08-01 20:37:22 UT.
We found OT at UVOT postion (De Pasquale et al., GCN 12228).
The results of our photometry are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.08 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).

The power low index (F~t^-aplha) apha ~1.0+-0.1     during this observations in 
R-band.
