MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the Fermi Trigger 
358364818/GRB120510B 36 sec after GRB 
time at 2012-05-10 17:47:32.938 UT. On our Very Wide Field Camera 
(400 square degrees, 1 pix = 22 arcsec) set of images we 
have found optical transient within FERMI error-box with ~10 mag 
(unfiltered).

The OT position is:
Ra  =  12h 51m 37.9s
Dec = +00d 05m 35s
with the error box (one sigma) radius equal to 10".

We have reference image without OT on 2012-04-21 20:11:39 UT with 
unfiltered magnitude limit 12.5 m. 
In the follow up MASTER II Amur observations on 2012-05-11 at 15:12:29 UT 
there is no OT brighter than 17.2 m.
There are  two SDSS galaxies  inside one sigma error box:
SDSS J125138.22+000534.5 (rmag=19.83) and
SDSS J125138.45+000534.7 (rmag=21.98)
The data reduction is continuing.
