MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Tunka was pointed to the GRB150222A 58 sec after notice time
and 76 sec after trigger time at 2015-02-22 16:57:57 UT in two
polarizations. On our first (10s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
(Bernardini et. al GCN 17486).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 15.5 mag
The observations made on high zenith distance (z=75 d).
