MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the IceCube Alert 200109.99 (trigger No 37927131,11h 01m 03.84s , +14d 55m 44.4s, R=1.94) errorbox  22 sec after notice time and 75 sec after trigger time at 2020-01-09 23:42:55 UT, with upper limit up to  16.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 36 deg. The sun  altitude  is -58.1 deg. 

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) started inspect of the IceCube Alert 200109.99 errorbox  53 sec after notice time and 105 sec after trigger time at 2020-01-09 23:43:25 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -69.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 62 deg., longitude l = 234 deg.
