One of the four  MASTER Very Wide Field Cameras located at Kislovodsk
(http://apollo.sai.msu.ru/, D=50 mm, 4x1000 square degrees, 35'' per pix) has 
observed the 70% Fermi large error box  (Trig Nuber 249750316) with 5s 
exposures during all night without time gap between images.

These unfiltered images are calibrated relative to Tycho stars (V).
The magnitued limit of the each emage is  ~11m. 
Note: the GRB was at the edge of the  camera FOW.

GRB 081130: Fermi GBM detection

From
Andreas von Kienlin at MPE <azk@mpe.mpg.de>
A. von Kienlin (MPE)  
reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: 

"At 05:04:40.72  UT on 30 November 2008, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor 
triggered and located GRB 081130 (trigger 249714281 / 081130212).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger 
data, is RA = 37.0, DEC = +46.0 (J2000 degrees, 
equivalent to 02h 28m, 46d 00'), with an uncertainty 
of 5.0 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, 
statistical only; there is additionally a systematic
error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees).

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 90 degrees.

Since the source is soft and weak, the time-averaged spectrum 
is poorly constrained."
