MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Tunka was pointed to the  GRB130514B  90 sec  after GRB time 
but out first image were overlight by evening sky.
The first good image made 3812 sec after GRB time at 2013-05-14 14:30:06.562 UT. 
On our  first (180s exposure) good  set we haven`t found optical transient 
within INTEGRAL error-box (S.Mereghetti et. al GCN 14638).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.5 mag
The observations mae on large zenith distance z=83 deg. 
The message may be cited.
