First we pointed to FERMI trigger N325523188 (ra=217.133 dec=-12.333
err=32.42) at 15:07:28 (62 sec after trigger time). We observed this area 
to 15:08:33, until the next more exact FERMI  alert  (ra=205.160 
dec=-11.570 err=10.9) comes.
Unfortunately, after that replacement, the part of MAXI error-box has left 
a FOV of ours widefield cameras. We observ this new place to 15:13:33.

We coadd all wide field (500 square degrees) camera unfiltered images. 
There is no OT from automatical identification. 
So we have following results:


T_start     T_s-T_fermi     T_s-T_maxi     exptime    limit    Cover_MAXI
15:07:28       62 sec        -68 sec        55 sec     13.0      100 %
15:08:33      126 sec         -3 sec       250 sec     13.8       85 %

Black lines is MAXI error_box.

  The main  MASTER  telescopes (40 sm) also made observations in 
2 polarizations, in the center of each of FERMI error-boxes, but them FOV 
(4 sq. degree) it has appeared not enough for observ at least parts MAXI
error-box.
