MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in IAC was pointed to the GRB161214A 17 sec after notice time
and 27 sec after trigger time at 2016-12-14 04:46:43 UT. On our first (10s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within INTEGRAL
error-box (ra=12 43 47 dec=+06 44 03 r=3.18) (Mereghetti et al., GCN
20251). The 5-sigma upper limit set is about 16.2 mag(polaroid,
unfiltered).
The observations made on zenit distance = 36 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
69 degree.
The moon (99 % bright part) is 40 degrees above the horizon. The distance
between moon and object is 102.6
The sun altitude is -39 degree.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2016-12-14 07:46:48
Maximal coadded limit ~18.9 m. No OT found.
