MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in SAAO was firstly pointed to the GRB150902A (Roberts et. al.
GCN 18229) 67 sec after trigger time at 2015-09-02 17:36:47 UT. On our
first (10s exposure) set we not found optical transient within FERMI
error-box (ra=16 24 36 dec=-72 54 35 r=2.140000) brighter then 15.27.
MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope makes several alert and inspect
observations inside actual (at that time) FERMI GBM error boxes, but all
of that frames located far away from the final FERMI LAT (Arimoto et.
al GCN 18228) error box and did not cover it.
MASTER-VWF very wide fileld cameras placed in MASTER-SAAO cover FERMI LAT
error box at 2015-09-02 17:36:32.0 i.e. 47 sec after notice and 53 sec
after trigger time, and imaging it continuously without time gaps till
2015-09-02 17:43:00. We have not find OT inside FERMI LAT error box with
upper limit 11.5m on single (5 second) and 12.8m ( on coadd of 12 frames
with total exposure 60 s) images.
