MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Argentina was pointed to the GRB180404B (LaPorte et al. GCN
22590; Beardmore et al. GCN 22594) 27 sec after notice time and 45 sec
after trigger time at 2018-04-04 02:12:29 UT.
On our first 10s exposure image with unfiltered mlim=16.5 (5-sigma) we
don't found optical transient within SWIFT error-box (ra=53.3792
dec=-50.195 r=0.05 LaPorte et al. GCN 22590)
MASTER auto-detection system detected OT with RA,Dec=53.392900;
-50.214903
and unfiltered m_OT = 18.4 (automatic reduction)
on the summary image with 670s exposition started on 2018-04-04 02:12:29
(mlim=19.7)

The observations started at zenit distance = 73 degrees, galaxy latitude b
= -51 degree.
The moon (86 % bright part) is 16 degrees above the horizon. The distance
between moon and object is 115
The sun altitude was -46.8 degree.
