MASTER-IAC robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L) located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to 
the  GRB200716C (Ukwatta et al, GCN 28124)  55 sec after notice time and 
79 sec after trigger time at 2020-07-16 22:59:00 UT.
On our 5-th (50s exposure)  set , obtained 243 sec after tigger time
at 2020-07-16 23:01:45 UT, we  found an optical transient within Swift 
error-box (ra=196.012 dec=29.6292 r=0.05) brighter.
