MASTER-ICATE robotic very wide field cameras (FOV=2x384 square degrees,
D=72mm, f/1.2, 1 pix = 22 arcsec, http://observ.pereplet.ru) located
in Argentina (Observatorio Astronomico Felix Aguilar,
http://master.sai.msu.ru:8080/) were pointed to the
Fermi-GBM trigger 394416326 55 sec after GRB time and 49 sec FERMI trigger
Time at 2013-07-02 00:06:18 UT.
We haven't found optical transient (Singer et. al. GCN 14967) on single
(exp = 5 sec) images with upper limit V<11m and coadded image made of
first 58 frames (5 sec exposure without time gap) and total exposure of
290 seconds with upper limit V<12.5m. Our magnitudes are calibrated
against V magnitudes from Tycho-2 catalog.
This upper limit does not contradict the power law decay with an index of
0.54 inferred by Singer et al. in GCN 14967.
The reduction of the whole data set is continuing.
