MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was pointed to the  GRB161023.94 24 sec after notice time 
and 33 sec after trigger time at 2016-10-23 22:39:24 UT in two 
polarization.
On our first (10s exposure)  and consequent images we  found optical 
bright transient   within INTEGRAL  error-box (ra=20 45 08 dec=-47 37 08 
r=0.054667) at following position:
RA                  Dec
20h 44m 05.21s , -47d 39m 48s.5

OT rise up to  maximum magnituge about  12.5 (~ 3 minutes after the 
trigger).


The 5-sigma upper limit at first  has been about 16.11mag
