MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in IAC was pointed to the  GRB160816.73 24 sec after notice time 
and 18726 sec after trigger time at 2016-08-16 22:43:04 UT. (We corrected 
start  exposition time which published in  previouse MASTER circular 
(Lipunov et al., GCN 19805). We reducted coadded images and found OT.

We see  OT on coadded images inside SWIFT XRT (Kennea et al., GCN19806) at 
LCOGT position (Guidorzi  et al., GCN 19808, Kuin et al., GCN 19815) on two 
tubes with unfiltered magnitude calibrated by USNO B1 stars ( m = 
0.2B+0.8R ):


m_OT=20.5  (+0.5 -0.2) at mean exposition time  2016-08-16 23:05:53, 
20095 sec (5.58 hours)  after GBM trigger time. T_start =18762sec, 
T_end=21464 
after 
trigger. The total exposition = 1800 sec.
