MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy,vol. 2010, 30L)
  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station)
automatically was pointed to the  FERMI GRB190404.29
(trigger 576054086  07h 09m 04.08s , +55d 16m 01.20s, R=11.45 Ttrig=2019-04-04 07:01:21.93UT)
40918 sec after trigger time at 2019-04-04 18:23:19 UT, with upper limit up to  20.2 mag.
The observations started at zenit distance = 25deg. The sun  altitude  was -22.6 deg.

MASTER OT J071404.52+550304.2 discovery in PGC020455

MASTER-Tavrida auto-detection system discovered OT source
at (RA, Dec) = 07h 14m 04.52s +55d 03m 04.2s on 2019-04-04.78094 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 18.5 (limit 19.8m).
There is 15 mag (B) galaxy PGC020455 at 160 Mpc. OT offset is  21.2W 55.1N 
arcsec from PGC020455 center.

The OT is seen in 2 inspection images (there is no minor planet at this 
place):
2019-04-04 18:36:58.335  18.5 +-0.2
2019-04-04 18:44:33.528  18.3 +-0.2

There is no OT in 24h at 2019-04-05 19:02:36UT at MASTER-Tavrida image 
with mlim=19.8.

We have also reference image (without OT) on 2017-08-03.00720 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 19.6m.

Deep photometry and spectroscopy are required.
