MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB110106A (Mangano et al., GCN 
Circ 1152) 17 sec s after notice time and 41 sec after GRB time at 
2011-01-06 15:25:57.96 UT in two polarizations+filter R. On our 
first (10s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient  within SWIFT 
XRT error-box.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.0mag
We marginally see OT about 15.5 mag in XRT error box on second set at 
2011-01-06 15:26:19 (starting 69 s after trigger time with 10 sec 
exposition).

We see the like galaxy object near  (~15" distance) XRT error box ~19-20 
mag on later images. But, there is no object in NASA/IPAC EXTRAGALACTIC 
DATABASE. 
The same object is presented at DSS image.

The redaction is continueted.
