MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located at Ural (Kourovka)  was pointed to the
Swift GRB 100902A (Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ 11181) 27  sec  after Notice time 
(104 s after trigger time) in two polarizations.

Thre is no optical transient at XRT position (Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ 1118) 
with next limits:
