MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the  GRB160225A 20 sec after
notice time and 204 sec after Swift BAT trigger (Siegel et al, 19075) 
time at 2016-02-25 14:24:20 UT (Gabovich  et al, 19076).

We did not see any OT brighter 2-sigma. Our unfiltered camera sensitive up 
to 10  mk.
