MASTER II  robotic double telescope (MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru) located in Blagoveschensk was pointed
to the  GRB111228.66 191 sec  after notice time and 244 sec after
GRB time at 2011-12-28 15:48:47.127 UT. The some delay was due to weather conditions.
  On our first (20s exposure, two polarizations, unfiltered) set we found 
optical transient  at Swift OT position (Ukwatta et al., GCN Circ R12737).
The OT magnitude is  about 16.5 mag in both polarizations.

The reduction is continuated.
