MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory Alert 200116.21 (trigger No 1629867585,13h 09m 12.00s , -54d 36m 00.0s, R=3) errorbox  17 sec after notice time and 282 sec after trigger time at 2020-01-16 05:04:27 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 56 deg. The sun  altitude  is -37.7 deg. 

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) started inspect of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory Alert 200116.21 errorbox  53 sec after notice time and 318 sec after trigger time at 2020-01-16 05:05:03 UT, with upper limit up to  16.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 85 deg. The sun  altitude  is -37.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  8 deg., longitude l = 306 deg.
