MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in IAC (Tenerife, Spain) was pointed to the  GRB150915A 22 sec 
after notice time and 95 sec after trigger time at 2015-09-15 21:20:03 UT 
in two polarizations. On our first single  (20s exposure) and coadd  (760s 
exposure)  sets we haven`t found optical transient  within SWIFT error-box 
(Elia et al. GCN 18315).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.3 on single and 19.8 on coadd 
image.
