MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB 140703A (Kocevski et. al., 
GCN 16503Not found
 
 
) 2 sec after notice time and 45 sec after trigger time at 
2014-07-03 00:38:03 UT on morning sky in two polarizations.
We have 10 good  frames with an increasing exposition from 10 to 70 
seconds that of that as there overlighting came. On our first (10s 
exposure)  set we haven`t see optical transient (Cunniffe et. al., GCN 
16504Not found
 
 
; Castro-Tirado et. al., GCN 16505Not found
 
 
) on our single and coadd image.
