MASTER-IAC robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L) located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to 
the  GRB190114.87 25 sec after notice time and 47 sec after trigger time 
at 2019-01-14 20:57:51 UT. On our first (10s exposure)  set we  found 1 
optical transient within SWIFT error-box (ra=54.5042 dec=-26.9383 r=0.05) 
brighter than 16.54.
