MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 210811.09 (trigger No 36044887,18h 05m 41.76s , +25d 22m 01.2s, R=0.51) errorbox  48 sec after notice time and 124 sec after trigger time at 2021-08-11 02:04:48 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 57 deg. The sun  altitude  is -51.3 deg. 

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 210811.09 errorbox  51 sec after notice time and 127 sec after trigger time at 2021-08-11 02:04:51 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 56 deg. The sun  altitude  is -44.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 20 deg., longitude l = 52 deg.
