MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Tunka was pointed to the  GRB131127.59 73 sec after GRB time at 
2013-11-27 14:13:31.093 UT.

Fortunately, the central part (42%) of the IPN error box (Golenetskii et 
al., GCN 15529) was covered by first MASTER image (10s exposure). 
Unfortunatelly, observations was done at the very high zenit distance (~85 
degrees).

We haven`t  found optical transient.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 14.1 mag
We have 4 images (the one of the tube was under horizont):

The fist image (FOW = 2x2 degrees) with IPN error box is available at

The reduction is continued.
