MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the GRB121117A 47 sec after
GRB time at 2012-11-17 08:51:43.208 UT. On our first (10s exposure) set we
haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box (Cummings et
al., GCN Circ. 13967).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 13.7 mag
This is the prompt limit because our observations was done during
Gamma-ray activity (Cummings et al., GCN Circ. 13970).
