MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: 
http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, 
vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station 
of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the  GRB181201A (Mereghetti et 
al., GCN #23469) ~13.3 hours after trigger time at 2018-12-01 15:57:35 UT.
On our first (180s exposure)  set we  found  optical transient detected 
by MASTER-OAFA (Podesta et al,  GCN 23470; Gorbovskoy et al., Atel 
#12255; also observed by Kong GCN #23475;).
