MASTER-SAAO telescope observed Swift GRB171205A (D'Elia et al., GCN Circ.
22177) since 2017-12-06 23:53:47UT.
There were 20 images with 180s exposition in B and unfiltered (W=0.2B+0.8R
calibrated by USNO-B1) .
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system detected optical transient ((Izzo et
al. GCN 22180; Emery et al. GCN 22181; Butler et al. GCN 22182; Mao et al.
GCN 22186; Choi et al. GCN 22188; Melandri et al. GCN 22189; Steeghs et
al. GCN 22190; Cobb et al. GCN 22192, Schmidl et al. GCN22198) several
filters. The unfriltered magnitude is about ~ 19.4 mag .
We note that absolute magnitude is about -16.5.
