MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)
located in South African Astronomical Observatory was pointed to the 
IceCube-190504A (Kopper et al. GCN 24392) alert
39 sec after notice time (133 sec after trigger time) at 2019-05-04 18:27:31 UT (Lipunov et al. GCN 24395).

MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope started IceCube-190504A inspection at 2019-05-04 23:10:52.949 UT.
MASTER auto-detection system didn't find new or variable sources, that can be connected with this alert. But.

MASTER observed this error-box during the following GRB/LVC alerts observations:

and during own survey Dec2014-May2019.

We checked Swift sources (Keivani et al. GCN 24405 )in MASTER database.

The 7th source is in maximum in optic now

1) 66.17568d, -37.93938d
m_OT=19.6 at 2014-12-24 22:12:28.681, m_OT=19.6 at 2018-11-15 00:47:43.986, m_OT<mlim=18.6 now

2)66.39382d, -37.70566d
no OT in MASTER database (see mlims in Table)

3)65.19589d, -37.26399d
no OT in MASTER database (see mlims in Table)

4) in 4.3" there is optical source at RA,Dec2000=04h 24m 50.04s , -36d 55m 44.39s with m_OT=19.1 (candidate to QSO (Guo+, 
2018) in VIZIER database in 2.2"), marginally seen at current image with m_OT<mlim(18.6)~19m.
It was 18.4(unfiltered) at 2016-12-25 05:25:09.6 UT (not in maximum now)

5) 65.70905d, -37.94807d
in 4.2" there is optical source at  	4h 22m 49.86s , -37d 56m 53.10s 
and in 2.2" there is a source - AGN candidates (Assef+, 2018) , see VIZIEr database)
usual brightness in MASTER database 19.1, marginally seen in current images, it means the source didn't become brighter in optic.


6)66.39458d, -37.70534d
no OT in MASTER database (see mlims in Table)

7) 65.29548d, -38.09169d
This source is in maximum now, see MASTER photometry  at
