MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the Fermi trigger Number
506702667 72 sec after
notice time and 171 sec after trigger time at 2017-01-21 14:47:14 UT.
MASTER-Amur auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 04h
50m 17.73s -09d 16m 02.0s .
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 14.9m (limit 16.0 m).
The OT is seen in 5 images. OT detected before maximum and shown decay on
last images 4 minutes after detection.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-01-21.61560 UT with unfiltered
magnitude limit 20.5 m.
Spectral observations are required.
The message may be cited.
