MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the GRB120404A 24 sec after
notice time and 71 sec after GRB time at 2012-04-04 12:52:13.917 UT
(Yurkov et al., GCN 13210).
The observations was made with a full moon and at high zenith distance.
We see an OT (G. Stratta et. al., GCN 13208) on 3 single and some coadd
images. First time the OT seen at coadd of six first images set with
magnitude about 16.8. After this time the object was decay below 17.5
mag for an hour. The OT have a flash to 16.9 mag in our unfiltered band
(0.8R+0.2B) ~ 1 h after trigger time.
The detail imformation about observations in a table 1.
