MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was pointed to the  GRB150627.18 10133 sec after notice 
time and 55479 sec after trigger time at 2015-06-27 19:48:02 
16:32:07 UT. On our 
first (180s exposure)  set we  found optical transient within LAT 
error-box (ra=07 49 57 dec=-51 33 34 r=0.500000, Arimoto et al., GCN 
17791) brighter then 16.87.

07h 49m 53.05s , -51d 29m 21s.4  error =+-1.0
m ~ 19.0

This postion 2 arcsec close X-ray position (Gompertz et al., 17976)
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.87mag
