MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar 
Station of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the SWIFT GRB190829.83

) errorbox 
1215 sec after notice time and 1239 sec after trigger time at 2019-08-29 
20:17:23 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. The observations began at 
zenit distance = 89 deg. The sun  altitude  is -36.2 deg.

MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) 
= 02h 58m 10.51s -08d 57m 27.2s on 2019-08-29.86841 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 14.9m (limit 17.2m).

The OT is seen in 12 images.
The OT decay on ~2 magnitudes  during first 2 hours of observations. 
So this OT could be a GRB 190829A optical counterpart.

We have reference image without OT on 2014-11-20.85262 UT with unfiltered 
magnitude limit 20.7m.
