MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB131030A 50 min (3000s) after 
GRB time at 2013-10-30 21-46-10.273 UT.
On our first  (180 sec) images  we  found optical transient  within SWIFT 
error-box (E. Troja et. al GCN15402Loading...
 
 ).
The unfiltred magnitude is 16.5;
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 19.0 mag.
So long pointing time was due to with daily power cut on the observatory.
The message may be cited.
