MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in IAC was pointed to the GRB161105A 27 sec after notice time
and 42 sec after trigger time at 2016-11-05 04:53:44 UT. On our first (10s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
(ra=120.163 dec=-44.7794 r=0.05) (Page et al., GCN 20131).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.4 mag (polaroid,
unfiltered).
The observations made on zenit distance = 75 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
-7 degree. The moon (25 % bright part) below the horizon (The altitude of
the Moon is -80 degree ).
The sun altitude is -32.4 degree.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2016-11-05 07:20:31
Maximal coadded limit ~19.5 m. No OT found.
