MASTER Robotic Net (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru ) was started observation of one of the best Black Hole candidate - V404 Cyg by GCN Swift trigger N 643949 at 2015-06-15 18:34:09 UT (Barthelmy et. al GCN #17929 ) i.e. 22 sec after notice time and 150 sec after trigger time. The 5 MASTER robotic twin telescopes every clear night observed V404 Cyg.

We have more than 2400 mesuarments now; The preliminary photometry of MASTER-Net telescopes are available at http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/OT/MASTERV404.jpg

We see > 8% linear polarisation ( that corresponds to ATEL #7678 , ATEL #7674). We defenitely detect polatizations variability at time scale ~10 minutes.

The Ural light curves (upper fig.) VS polarization (below) data are available at http://master.sai.msu.ru/static/v404syg_tu.png

The observations are continued.
