MASTER-ICATE robotic very wide field cameras (FOV=2x384 square degrees,
D=72mm, f/1.2, 1 pix = 22 arcsec, http://observ.pereplet.ru) located in 
Argentina (Observatorio Astronomico Felix Aguilar, 
http://93.180.27.230:8080/) 
synchronously observed 35% part of FERMI GRB130919A (trigger 401326696) 
error box before, during and after the trigger.

Since 40 sec after the trigger cameras pointed to FERMI alert our FOV 
cover 95% part of error box.
We haven`t found optical transient  within
FERMI error-box  our first (5 s exposure) set.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 12.0 mag.
The 5-sigma upper limit on coadd first 30 images is about 13.0 mag.

The first seconds  movie locate here

Our cameras are continuously imaging the sky with 5 sec exposures.

The more accurat error box (by IPN) is requied.
The message may be cited.
