MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was pointed to the  GRB160501A 24 sec after notice time 
and 106 sec after trigger time at 2016-05-01 00:42:21 UT in two 
polarizations. On our first (20s exposure)  set we haven`t found optical 
transient  within SWIFT error-box (Cummings et al GCN 19365
Not found
 
 
).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.5 mag  on single (20 s exposure) 
and   19.1 mag  at coadd of first 10 images (with total exposure 780 s).
Not very depth upper limits are explained by the proximity to the Moon.
