MASTER Global Robotic Net (http://observ.pereplet.ru ,
Lipunov et al. Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010AdAst2010E..30L)
started Swift GRB 181030A (Sonbas et al. GCN23389, Beardmore et al. GCN23391)
optical alert observations 21 sec after notice time at 2018-10-30 01:29:03 UT
MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope, located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory)
was pointed to the GRB181030A 21 sec after notice time and 101 sec after trigger time at 2018-10-30 01:29:03 UT.
On our first 20s expos. set , started at 2018-10-30 01:29:03 UT,
we found optical transient within SWIFT error-box
MASTER OT J094742.25+143925.73 (also detected by Sonbas et al SwiftUVOT GCN23389 and by Moskvitin et al. GCN 23390)
with m_OT=16.5 and falling light curve in both polarization filters.
The galactic latitude b = 46 deg., longitude l = 220 deg.
The observations made on zenit distance = 47 deg.
The moon (68 % bright part) was 67 deg. above the horizon.The distance between moon and object was 39 deg
The sun altitude was -24.2 deg.
MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station)
was pointed to the GRB181030A 31 sec after notice time and 105 sec after
trigger time at 2018-10-30 01:29:13 UT.
The observations started on zenit distance = 51 deg.
The moon (68 % bright part) was 66 deg. above the horizon. The distance between moon and object was 39
The sun altitude was -27.9 deg.
