MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Tunka was pointed to the  GRB150710.65 130 sec after notice 
time and 3592 sec after trigger time at 2015-07-10 16:30:13 UT. On our 
first (180s exposure)  set we  found OT MASTER J071803.26+644745.0 within 
FERMI error-box (ra=08 55 31 dec=+48 54 00 r=11.670000).
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 14.5m (limit 17.2m).
Coordinates OT source  (RA, Dec) = 07h 18m 03.26s +64d 47m 45.0s on 
2015-07-10.74346  UT.
This OT is identical to USNO-B1 star with B2=17.93, R2=17.97, I=17.66; 
also is a GALEX source (18.863) and a source from SDSS DR10 catalogue of 
candidate quasars (Brescia+, 2015) .
Previous outburst was detected as ASASSN-15bq and classified like UG
