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 GRB200205.81 21 sec after notice time and 300 sec after trigger time at 2020-02-05 19:26:44 UT. On our first (60s exposure) set we found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=107.8 dec=-56.4808 r=0.05) brighter than 15.7.
