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) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 200926.33 (trigger No 53384881,06h 26m 17.52s , -04d 12m 18.0s, R=0.51) errorbox  59270 sec after notice time and 59334 sec after trigger time at 2020-09-27 00:23:06 UT, with upper limit up to  16.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 66 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -7 deg., longitude l = 214 deg.
