MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope (in Russia) was pointed to MAXI 
GRB141229A (Fujita et al., GCN 17246) error box after 5 hours (direktly 
after error box arises at 2014-12-29 16:46:38 UT.

MASTER-SAAO  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
instaleted   in South African Astronomical Observatory (Sutherland) 
automaticaly was pointed to the  MAXI GRB141229A (Fujita et al., GCN 
17246)  after sun set    at 2014-12-29 20:57:10 UT (9 hours 
after trigger time) in unfiltered regime.

There is no any optical transients inside Swift XRT
error box (Bernardini et al., GCN 17251).
