MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was pointed to the  GRB150403A (Lien et al. GCN 17665) 
20418 sec after notice time and 20434  sec (5.7h) after trigger time at 
2015-04-04 03:34:51 UT immediately after suitable weather condition came, 
in automatic mode. Observation lasted about 30 minutes, until the weather 
became bad again. We detect a faint OT on a Swift UVOT position (Kuin et al. GCN17673).
The estimated unfiltered magnitude is:

Date       time_start  T0-Tmid[s]  Expt.[s]   Mag  Coadd
2015-04-04 03:34:51.49  20840         720    19.2  4


Our unfiltered  band  is well described by a parity 0.8R+0.2B (USNO B1).
