MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Tunka was pointed to the  GRB140304A (Evans et. al GCN 15915Not found
 
 
) 
26 sec after notice time and 77 sec after trigger
time at 2014-03-04 13:23:49 UT.  We detect OT (Gorbovskoy et. al GCN 
15914Not found
 
 
) in two polarization bands during ~1 h while the source was brighter 
than our upper limit.
The preliminary photometry result available in table 1 and here

Mag1 and Mag2 - Magnitude in two perpendicular polarizations.
The power low index alpha is 0.77+-0.05  (F ~ t-apha).


MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the  GRB140304A  5 sec after 
notice time and 46 sec after trigger time at 2014-03-04 13:23:17 UT.
The observations  on this site made on bad weather conditions and on high 
zenith distance. The 5-sigma upper limit On our first (10s exposure) image 
has been about 13.0 mag.
