MASTER-SAAO  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO (South Africa) was pointed to the ICECube EHE171106.78
trigger number 130214   25 sec 
after notice time  and 71 sec after trigger time at 2017-11-06 18:40:50 UT 
UT. This AMON_ICECUBE_EHE event is temporally(33.0<100sec) coincident with 
the FERMI_GBM event (trignum=531686417).

On our first (180s exposure)  set we  not found optical transient 
within ICECUBE  error-box (ra=340.25 dec=7.31333 r=0.25) brighter then 
19.9.


Observations are continuated.

The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 19.9 mag
====================================================================



The observations made on zenit distance = 40 degrees, galaxy latitude b = 
-43 degree.
The moon (91 % bright part) below the horizon (The altitude of the Moon is 
-12 degree ).
The sun  altitude  is -18.7 degree.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2017-11-07 03:32:51
