MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Tunka was pointed to the GRB140311B 29 sec after notice time
and 107 sec after trigger time at 2014-03-11 21:16:16 UT in two
polarizations. On our first (20s exposure) set we haven`t found optical
transient within SWIFT error-box (Racusin et. al. GCN 15945). The 5-sigma
upper limit has been about 17.0 mag. The observations is proceed.
MASTER II robotic telescope located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the
GRB140311B 9 sec after notice time and 85 sec after trigger time at
2014-03-11 21:15:54 UT in two polarizations. On our first (20s exposure)
set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 14.0 mag. The observations on this
place made on the bright morning sky.
