Following the gamma-ray flare of the BL Lac object CGRaBS J0211+1051 (also known as MG1 J021114+1051, and 1FGL J0211.2+1049, Abdo et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 405) detected by Fermi LAT on 2011 January 23 (ATel #3120), we try to find images of the BL Lac in our DATA BASE.
We find 16 serendipitous optical unfiltered observations by MASTER-Net sites from 03 feb 2004 to 26 Jan 2011. In all cases we use the same Apogee CCD on the wide field telescopes.
3 comparison stars were taken from the UsnoB1.0 catalogue to define the source magnitude. Our unfiltered magnitude is calibrated relative to USNOB1.0 as 0.8R+0.2B .
The results of the photometry are:

We see:
1). The object is variable on timescale about several month and years with amplitude ~2m.
2). There is no dramatic brightening (flare) during last 2.5 month.
3). There is some brightening (~0.15 m) from 1 November 2010 to 24 January 2011
4). There is essential (0.4m) brightening during October 2010
5)Thre is slow trend from January 2010 ~ 1m.
6). The Swift Uvot data (D'Ammando, Sokolovsky and Hoversten, ATel #3129)are not contradict to our observations.
