MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in OAFA (Argentina) was pointed to the GRB170111.02 17 sec after
notice time
and 63 sec after trigger time at 2017-01-11 00:34:31 UT. On our first (10s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
(ra=20.7167 dec=-32.54 r=0.05).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.5 mag
The observations made on zenit distance = 25 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
-81 degree.
The moon (97 % bright part) is 26 degrees above the horizon. The distance
between moon and object is 84
Observations started at twilight.
The sun altitude is -9.8 degree.
The object can be observed till 2017-01-11 06:13:03.
