MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in OAFA was pointed to the GRB171027A ( D'Avanzo et al., GCN
Circ 22053 ) 26 sec after notice time
and 71 sec after trigger time at 2017-10-27 08:24:17 UT. On our first (10s
exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
(ra=61.6708 dec=-2.60556 r=0.05). The 5-sigma upper limit has been about
17.5 mag . This and next 2 images are prompt optical limit because GRB
duration is ~ 120
sec (D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circ 22053 )
The OT limit are:
