MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk 
State University) was pointed to the  GRB190311.6 (Troja et al., 
23946) 55 sec after notice time 
and 66 sec after trigger time at 2019-03-11 14:24:45 UT. On our third (30 
s  exposure)  set we  found optical transient  within SWIFT 
error-box at Swift UVOT position (Troja et al., 23946).

m ~ 17.5
RA, DEC = 14:08:15.72, +53:30:02.9
err = 1 arcsec

We obtain a following images with OT:
