MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB150626B 216 sec after notice 
time and 260 sec after trigger time at 2015-06-26 20:27:12 UT in two 
polarizations, directly after automatic weather control system give permit 
for observations. On our first (50s exposure)  set we not found  optical 
transient within SWIFT error-box (McCauley et al. GCN 17966) brighter then 
17.5.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.5 mag


MASTER-IAC  pointed to the  GRB150626B  46   sec after notice time and 90 
sec after trigger time at 2015-06-26 2015-06-26 20:24:22 UT, but the 
images overexposed due to eveninig sky (Sun alt -4 deg.).

The observations is continued.
