MASTER-II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Tunka was pointed to the  GRB140311B  (Racusin et al., GCN 
15945) 29 sec after notice time and 107 sec after trigger time (Gorbovskoy 
et. al GCN 15948 ) and  made observations during ~ 1.5 h before sunrise.
We see OT  (Xu et. al.  GCN 15949) only on several coadditional images. On 
all of them the object is close to  limit  and has s/n from 3 to 6.
Our preliminary ligth curve available in table below and on image here

21:25:40       1702     1740     20.0    10

T_t is GRB trigger time, T_m is middle time of our exposure.
Our unfiltered magnitude is well described by a parity 0.8R + 0.2B (USNO 
B1)

The power low index alpha from 380 to 1740 seconds after the trigger  is 
1.07+-0.10  (F ~ t-apha).

We also apologize for an error in the title of our previous telegram (GCN 
15948) if it misled somebody.
