MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the Swift GRB200215.61 (trigger No 956639,02h 16m 29.28s , +12d 46m 51.6s, R=0.05) errorbox  20 sec after notice time and 40 sec after trigger time at 2020-02-15 14:40:12 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 70 deg. The sun  altitude  is -39.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -45 deg., longitude l = 154 deg.
