MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in OAFA was starting survey on the SWIFT  GRB171209A error-box 
(LaPorte et al. GCN 22213)   44912 sec after notice time and 44965 sec 
after trigger time at 2017-12-10 03:15:41 UT. The 5-sigma upper limit on 
our single  (180s exposure)  set is about 19.4-m and  20.0-m on coadd 
(3x180 = 540s) image. We not see OT previously reported by Kuin et al. GCN 
22221 , Guidorzi et al. GCN 22214 ,  Kong et al. GCN 22230.


MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO  was starting survey on the SWIFT  GRB171209A   114607 
sec (~ 32 hours)  after trigger time at 2017-12-10 03:15:41 UT. The 
5-sigma upper limit on our single  (180s exposure)  set is about 19.4-m 
and  20.5-m on coadd (10 x 180 = 1800 s) image.  Here we also not see any 
OT.
