MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI 
Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the  FERMI  TRIGGER_NUM: 
564485824 (possible GRB 181121.40) 1 days 
61648 sec after trigger time at 2018-11-23 02:44:28 UT, with upper limit 
up to  19.1 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 79 deg. The 
sun  altitude  is -21.8 deg.


MASTER-Tavrida auto-detection system discovered possible OT source at (RA, 
Dec) =  17h 17m 38.71s +56d 56m 48.7s on 2018-11-23.87034 UT. Error is 
about 2 arcsec.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.7m (3 sigma limit 18.0 m).

The OT is inside the large IPN box formed by intersection of the
Fermi-INTEGRAL triangulation annulus and the Fermi-GBM 3 sigma final
position (D. Svinkin, private communication).

The OT is seen in 2 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image without OT on 2017-10-04.75208 UT with unfiltered 
magnitude limit 19.0m.
The OT offset are 10.3E and 36N arc sec 
from center of the PGC3135767 galaxy. The distance to the Galaxy is about 
120 Mpc for H = 70 km/s/Mpc .
The absolute OT magnitude for this distance is about -17.8 .

We reobserved this error-box in MASTER-Kislovodsk with mlim=20.4 , 
starting on 2018-11-26 16:17:29UT (1980s exp). We can not exclude OT 
m ~ 20.5 mag.

MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, 
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in

FERMI GRB181121.4 ( 16h 45m 52.80s , +37d 34m 48.00s, R=8) 43375 sec after 
trigger time at 2018-11-21 21:39:54 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. 
Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenit 
distance = 67 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.6 deg.

MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  located in Russia (Applied Physics 
Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the  FERMI GRB181121.4 
1 days 4810 sec after trigger time at 2018-11-22 10:57:09 UT, with upper 
limit up to  18.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations 
began at zenit distance = 54 deg. The sun  altitude  is -16.1 deg.

MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, 
Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the  FERMI 
GRB181121.4 2 days 18064 sec after trigger time at 2018-11-23 14:38:04 UT, 
with upper limit up to  18.7 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The 
observations began at zenit distance = 54 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.4 
deg.

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was 
pointed to the  FERMI GRB181121.4 4 days 34252 sec after trigger time at 
2018-11-25 19:07:51 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. Observations 
started at twilight.  The observations began at zenit distance = 69 deg. 
The sun  altitude  is -13.4 deg.

The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.
