MASTER-SAAO  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru), 
located in SAAO, received Swift  GRB 151107A at the sunset, when the Sun 
altitude was -3.4 degrees, GRB altitude was 18.4 degrees.

MASTER-SAAO was pointed to the  GRB151107A 1750 sec after notice time 
and 2141 sec after trigger time at 2015-11-07 17:55:20 UT (Sun Altitude: 
-10.34, Alert altitude: 14.75). On our images (180s exposure)  we haven`t 
found optical transient  within SWIFT error-box (ra=14 28 33 dec=-59 40 46 
r=0.05). The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.2mag. There is  a 
bright star near the BAT coordinates. GRB is setting.

The best single image was started at  	2015-11-07 18:49:45 	(exp 180) 
m_lim = 18.3 mag.
