MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L) located in South Africa (South African Astronomical 
Observatory) was pointed to the  GRB190114C  (Gropp et al., GCN 23688Not found
 
 
) 
24 sec after notice time and 45 sec after trigger time
at 2019-01-14 20:57:48 UT. On our first (10s 
exposure in two polarization)  set we  found 1 optical transient (Tiurina 
et al., GCN 23690Not found
 
 
) within SWIFT error-box (ra=54.5042 dec=-26.9383 r=0.05)
brighter than 17.3 .

The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.32mag

Taking into account the observations on the MASTER-IAC at Canaries 
(Tiurina et al., GCN 23690Not found
 
 
) , we have a polarization photometry  in 4-position angles!
