MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) located in 
IAC was pointed to the  IGR J00291+5934 (Cummings et al., GCN 18051
Not found
 
 
) 24 sec 
after notice time and 1103 sec after trigger time at
2015-07-24 05:42:03 UT. On our first (180s exposure)  set we haven`t found 
optical transient  within SWIFT error-box.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.2 mag

time and 36279 sec after trigger time at 2015-07-24 15:28:16 UT. On our first 
(180s exposure)  set we  found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box ~ 
17.5 unfileterd mag (CCD is red, m=0.2B+0.8R with respect to USNO B ).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 19.4 mag .
