Buckley (SAAO) report on behalf of IKI-FuN follow-up collaboration:

We observed  the MASTER OT J063515.49-624002.9  (Chasovnikov et al., GCN 
23520)  of  Fermi trigger 565936249  with 1m telescopes of SAOO observatory. 
Observation started  on Dec. 08 (UT) 21:55:48 in R-filter.  We detected 
optical transient (Chasovnikov et al., GCN  23520). Preliminary  photometry 
is following

The optical transient has faded since its discovery. The optical transient 
located at 4.59 degrees from Fermi-GBM Final Position, and ~1 arcsec from 
USNOB-1.0 object  0273-0095603 098.814192 -62.667439 (R=20.98).
