MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the  GRB140629A (Lien et. al GCN 
16477) 15 sec after notice time and 33 sec after trigger time at 
2014-06-29 14:18:03.188 UT. On our first (10s exposure) set we found 
optical transient  within SWIFT error-box (ra=16 35 55 dec=+41 53 24 
r=0.050000).
The OT coordinates are Ra 16:35:54.41 Dec +41:52:36.53 and magnitude  is 
15.3 on first images. The OT rises up to 14 mag on following images.
