MASTER-Amur  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the  GRB160228A 20 sec after 
notice time and 40 sec after trigger time at 2016-02-28 17:35:12 UT. On 
our first (10s exposure)  set we haven`t found optical transient  within 
SWIFT error-box (Malesani et al., GCN 19107) and at GROND OT 
position (Delvaux et al., GCN 19114).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 15.1 mag (unfilterd).

We have 3 images during extended emission (Stamatikos et al., GCN 19113) 
with limit 15.2 .
