MASTER-VWF robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) in
Kislovodsk was pointed to the GRB130216A 15 sec after notice time and 31
sec after GRB time at 2013-02-16 22:15:52.273 UT using FERMI coordinates
(V.Chaplin et. al. GCN14236). We observ SWIFT error-box by very wide
field cameras (FOV=400 sq. deg. d=8.2 cm) and haven`t found optical
transient on images with 5-sigma upper limit has been about 8 mag.
MASTER II robotic telescope located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the
GRB130216A 23 sec after notice time and 582 sec after GRB time at
2013-02-16 22:25:06.231 UT. On our first (120s exposure) set we haven`t
found optical transient within SWIFT error-box (A. Melandri et. al.
GCN14223).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 14.0 mag
All �bservations were made on high (z>85 deg.) zenith distances and in bad
weather condition .
