MASTER-Kislovodsk  observed part of the G284239 error field 
synchronousely by 
very  wide field cameras (MASTER-VWFC 2x380 square degrees) with m_lim=11 
mag on  the  single images and m_lim=12.5 1 minute started from trigger 
time.

MASTER-Tunka started inspection of LIGO G284239 event (A.Weinstein  et al. 
GCN21060) 7478 s after Notice Time on 2017-05-03 16:34:32UT.

MASTER II  robotic telescope 
located in SAAO was starting survey on the LVC  GWB 170502.93 error-box
   19358 sec after notice time and 77992 
sec after trigger time at 2017-05-03 20:05:59 UT.

MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in IAC was starting survey on the LVC  GWB 170502.93 error-box
   26505 sec after notice time and 85139 
sec after trigger time at 2017-05-03 22:05:06 UT.

Covering area is the 1142 square degrees.
