  MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Tunka was pointed to the  GRB120811C (Barlow et al., GCN 13622Loading...
 
 ) 
40 sec s after notice time and 676 sec after GRB time at 2012-08-11 15:46:08.449 UT. On our 
first (130s exposure) set we have found OT  within SWIFT-BAT error-box in 
two polarizations.

The preliminary robotic photometry (m=0.2B + 0.8R, Usno B magnitudes) is:

So, MASTER-Net have simultaneous optical observations in four 
polarizations (see Denisenko et al., GCN 13623Loading...
 
 ) of GRB120811C.
