MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Crimea Astronomical station of  Lomonosov Moscow State 
University pointed to the FERMI  GRB 170607A  error-box (ra=00 37 55 
dec=+07 46 10  r=1.53, see Hamburg and Meegan GCN #21218)  25 sec after 
Fermi GBM notice time and 63 sec after  Fermi GBM trigger time at 
2017-06-08 23:19:03 UT. This was 150 sec before Swift trigger (D'Ai et 
al., GCN #21214).

MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope repointed to Swift BAT error box (D'Ai et
al., GCN #21214)  25 sec after Swift Notice Time and 42 sec after Swift 
trigger  at  2017-06-07 23:22:15 UT . We see OT at first image with 10 sec 
exposition.  We have OT light curve starting before maximum (UT_max = ~ 
23h 24m)  up to 2017-06-08 00:40:52 UT:

UT_max = 23:23:45 +/- 10sec

OT unfiltered magnitude (max) = 16.4 +- 0.1

RA,DEC = 00h 29m 27s.8 + 9d 14m 35s.8
Error = 0.5 arcsec

Position is coincide with UVOT position (D'Ai et al., GCN #21214).

We see  rebrighting or plato starting at 2017-06-07 23:52:43 UT (~30 min 
after  Swift  trigger).
