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  GRB191004.75 25 sec after notice time and 
43 sec after trigger time at 2019-10-04 18:07:45 UT. On our first (10s 
exposure)  set we  found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box 
(ra=31.7208 dec=-36.9319 r=0.05) brighter than 23.
