MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in OAFA was pointed to the GRB170311A 18 sec after notice time
and 59 sec after trigger time (Cummings et al., GCN 20846)
at 2017-03-11 08:09:45 UT. On our first (10s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
(ra=280.562 dec=-30.0628 r=0.05).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.2 mag
The observations made on zenit distance = 49 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
-12 degree.
The moon (98 % bright part) is 15 degrees above the horizon. The distance
between moon and object is 124
The sun altitude is -30.1 degree.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2017-03-11 10:34:12
