MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the GRB161214B 882 sec after notice
time and 900.34 sec after trigger time at 2016-12-14 17:35:11 UT. On our
first (180s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within
Swift error-box (ra=00 16 16 dec=+07 26 10 r=3.00) (D'Avanzo et al., GCN
20257). The 5-sigma upper limit set is about 16.5 mag(polaroid,
unfiltered).
The observations made on zenit distance = 49 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
-54 degree.
The moon (98 % bright part) is 29.5 degrees above the horizon. The
distance between moon and object is 87
The sun altitude is -40 degree.
The object can be observed till 2016-12-14 22:27:18
Maximal coadded limit ~18.7 m. No OT found.
