MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 201215A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 29046) errorbox  31642 sec after notice time and 31660 sec after trigger time at 2020-12-15 15:11:09 UT, with upper limit up to  17.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 68 deg., longitude l = 81 deg.
