MASTER-IAC robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy,
vol. 2010, 30L) located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to
the GRB201221.78 133 sec after notice time and 208 sec after trigger time
at 2020-12-21 18:45:02 UT. On our 11-th (180s exposure) set , obtained
1451 sec after tigger time at 2020-12-21 19:05:45 UT, we haven`t found
optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=278.204 dec=34.4108 r=0.05).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 13.6mag
