MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in SAAO was pointed to the GRB151021A 25 sec after notice time
and 50 sec after trigger time at 2015-10-21 01:30:06 UT in two
polarizations. On our first (10s exposure) set we found 1 optical
transient within SWIFT error-box (Melandri et. al GCN 18425) brighter then
16.
