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 IceCube Alert 200806.58 (trigger No 59221243,10h 28m 28.32s , +47d 43m 01.2s, R=0.51) errorbox  3743 sec after notice time and 3789 sec after trigger time at 2020-08-06 14:54:06 UT, with upper limit up to  17.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 70 deg. The sun  altitude  is -16.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 56 deg., longitude l = 167 deg.
