MASTER-Amur robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical 
University) was pointed to the  GRB190106.57 20 sec after notice time and 
36 sec after trigger time at 2019-01-06 13:35:20 UT. On our second (10s 
exposure)  set , obtained 61 sec after tigger time at 2019-01-06 13:35:46 
UT, we  found 1 optical transient within SWIFT error-box (ra=29.8792 
dec=23.8567 r=0.05) brighter than 16.06.
