MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was pointed to the probable GRB  (Swift Trigger 657564) 24 
sec after notice time and 108 sec after trigger time at 2015-10-04 
18:10:55 UT. On our first (20s exposure)  set we not  found  optical 
transient within SWIFT error-box (Cenko et. al GCN 18389) brighter then 
16.0.

Analysis of highly complicated proximity to the Milky Way (Galactic 
latitude l=-3.5) and strong winds (speed=65 km/h)

The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.0 mag
The message may be cited.
