Sergienko (Blagoveschensk Educational State University) MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S191216ap errorbox 1752 sec after notice time and 2831 sec after trigger time at 2019-12-16 22:20:49 UT, with upper limit up to 17.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 61 deg. The sun altitude is -24.3 deg. The galactic latitude b = -12 deg., longitude l = 77 deg. Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/ligo_1.php?id=11063 We obtain a following upper limits.
