MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB130907A 18 sec  after notice 
time and 43 sec after GRB time at 2013-09-07  21:42:00 UT in two 
polarizations. On our first images we  found optical transient  within 
SWIFT error-box (Page et. al. GCN15183). The object approximate magnitude 
is about 15.0 mag.
Observations are made at very long zenith distance z=86 deg.

The observations and reduction is continued.
