MASTER-IAC robotic telescope (MASTER Global Robotic Net:  Lipunov et al., 
2010, Advances in Astronomy,vol.2010, 30L  (http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to 
the  GRB 190613A (Swift alert, Ambrosi et al. GCN 24798, Fermi 
localization GCN 24799, BALROG localization Burgess et al. GCN 24800)
38 sec after notice time (104 sec after trigger time)
at 2019-06-13 04:09:09 UT (Lipunov et al. GCN 24802).

On our first (20s exposure)  set MASTER auto-detection system
found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=182.558 dec=67.2325 r=0.05) 
brighter than 16.4.
