  MASTER II  robotic double telescope (FOW=2x4 square degrees, 
http://observ.pereplet.ru) located in Tunka was observed  the 
GRB120129A (S. Golenetskii et al., GCN Circ 
12904Not found
 
 
) IPN triangulation error-box  using 9 diffent fields.
Observations  proceeded since 2012-01-30 20:50  to 2012-01-30 22:50 i.e 
aprox. 1.3 days after grbtime.
On our  images we haven`t found an optical transient
within IPN error-box (S. Golenetskii et al., GCN Circ 12904Not found
 
 
).
Unfiltred upper limit is 18.5 on each image.

  There is a one strange OT MASTER022229.64+523924.9 
which seen only at one image.

      Date    time             Ra                Dec         Mag

  The object is not seen on images given after (10 hours) and before (1 
hour) detection time.

  Our very wide fiels cameras (FOW=2x420 square degrees) synchronously 
with GRB have covered area directly under the errors-box.
