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  GRB210619.99 23 sec after notice time and 37 sec after trigger time at 2021-06-20 00:00:03 UT. On our first (10s exposure)  set we  found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=319.713 dec=33.86 r=0.05) brighter than  15.6.
