MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) located in 
Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB141028A (GCN 16969, Bissaldi) in  survey mode.

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) 
= 21h 30m 24.51s -00d 13m 52.3s on 2014-10-28.76451 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.9m (limit 19.9m).

The OT is seen in 12 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2014-07-22.97505 UT with unfiltered 
magnitude limit 19.7m.

Spectral observations are required.

The discovery and reference images are available at:
