MASTER II  robotic double telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located at Tunka (Baykal) was pointed
to the  120106A (Immler et al., GCN Circ 12810) 19 s after notice time and 
46 sec after GRB time at 14:16:24.24 UT.

On our first (10s exposure) west telescope image (| polasizations) we 
haven`t found optical transient  within SWIFT error-box.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 15.8 mag.

On our first (10s exposure) east telescope image (- polasizations) we
