MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 200921.80 (trigger No 71996695,13h 00m 47.28s , +26d 25m 48.0s, R=0.51) errorbox  1 days 64942 sec after notice time and 1 days 65023 sec after trigger time at 2020-09-23 13:10:56 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 80 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 87 deg., longitude l = 13 deg.
