MASTER OT J033744.97+723159.0 (lipunov, Gorbovskoy, Kornilov et al., GCN LVC 
GCN 21719, 21780) is cheked recently by MASTER-IAC (Tenerife, Spain). Our 
photometrical results are:

* for E(B-V) = 0.3436 and Av = 3.1 * E(B-V)  = 1.065



===========================
Uncorrected magnitude:

B =  18.1226
V = 16.8078
R =  16.0422
I  =  15.9435


E(B-V) = 0.3436   (http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/DUST/ )

Av = 3.1 * E(B-V)  => Av = 1.06516

So, MASTER OT J033744.97+723159.0 is reddening (cf,  Im et al, LVC GCN 21723).

The spectroscopic observations are requared.
