MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was pointed to the  GRB160225.81 (FERMI GBM TRIGGER NUM 
478121069) 33 sec after notice time and 77 sec
  after trigger time at 2016-02-25 19:25:42 UT. On our first (20s exposure) 
set we do not   found OTs FERMI initial error-box (ra=10 21 21  dec=-28 35 59
r=4.8 degreeas ) brighter then 15.3 .

After  2 hours we started inspection  new error box and found 
MASTER OT J095503.19-355149.4 . This source are not inside initial 
images.

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 09h 
55m 03.19s -35d 51m 49.4s on 2016-02-25.89505 UT. Errors are ~0.7 arcsec.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.1m (limit 19.3m).

The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place.

We have reference image without OT on 2015-01-17.92448 UT with unfiltered 
magnitude limit 19.7m.

Spectral observations are required.

The discovery and reference images are available at:

The OT position inside last error box (very close to center) is available
