report on behalf of the MASTER Team:
MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru,
Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010,
34917111) located in IAC was pointed to the GRB151215A (Gibson et al.
GCN 18691) 18 sec after notice time and 33 sec after trigger time at 2015-12-15 03:02:05
UT with 10s exposition in two perpendicular polarization planes.
We detect OT (Cenko et al GCN 18691, Wiseman et al. GCN 18694) in first
image with magnitude 17.8 +- 0.5 at a growing stage (midle time 38 sec
after trigger).
We definetely see OT on all images till 1500-th second.
The GRB optical light curve have a maximum at third image (110 s after
triger time) with 17.0 +- 0.1 mag.
The automatic light curve in one polarization available here

All magnitudes are unfiltered (0.2B+0.8R) with respect to number USNO B1.0
stars.
This is preliminary results.
