MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Tunka was pointed to the GRB120312A 403 s after notice
time and 512 s after GRB time at 2012-03-12 16:15:01 UT in two
polarizations. On our first (180s exposure) set we haven`t found optical
transient within SWIFT error-box.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.6 mag
The object has been observed in high zenit distance (~80 deg).
The big time delay (in pointing) is caused by a non-standard format of the
socket messages.
The message may be cited.
